Casa Juancho

When a restaurant stocks 450 Spanish wine labels, they're not playing around. Casa Juancho's wine list reads like a love letter to the Iberian Peninsula, with depth that goes way beyond Rioja and Ribera. This is the kind of place where the wine program matches the paella pan commitment.

The list digs into Spain's lesser-known DOs with the same enthusiasm it shows for the classics. We're talking Priorat, Bierzo, Jumilla, Toro, and Rías Baixas alongside the expected Rioja Gran Reservas. The variety spans from affordable Albariño and Verdejo to aged Tempranillo that's been cellared properly. Producers range from household names like López de Heredia and Vega Sicilia to smaller bodega finds from Galicia and Castilla y León. With 450 labels, there are gaps in non-Spanish offerings, but that's the point — this is Spain or nothing.

Glass pour intel is light, but given the restaurant's scale and longevity, expect a solid rotation of 10-15 pours. The smart money says they're pouring crowd-friendly Albariño, a couple of Tempranillo options at different price points, and probably a Cava or two. For a restaurant this committed to Spanish wine, the glass program should mirror the bottle list's regional diversity.
