The Spanish barbeque featured Wines from Spain and was hosted by renowned Chef José Andrés, the chef and owner of three restaurants at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas including China Poblano, Jaleo and é. Chef Andrés supplied all attendees with favorites from the Spanish songbook of classics, from Pan Con Tomato to Jamón Iberico Ribs to a selection of artisanal cheeses and embutidos. Guests sipped on a compendium of signatures from the Wines from Spain portfolio, from albarinos to prioriats and mezcals from the host chef’s homeland.
