Don't forget the great dry Douro reds, as well! Nothing more wonderful than a dry red with all the richness of port.

I strongly second that advice. Some of the best reds of the Iberic Peninsule are done in Portugal (and I am Spanish). A few hot names from Douro:
- Quinta do Vale Meao 2000
- Pintas 2000
- Poeira 2001
- Niepoort Batuta (difficult to find)
- Quinta do Crasto (several bottles, including their excellent basic wine of the same name).
Best,
Santiago
