Wine
Spaniards call grenache "garnacha" and often spell it "garnatxa." Let's not call the whole thing off, given the wonderfulness of wines such as the 2010 Joan D'Anguera Montsant Garnatxa ($16). There's surprising acidity at the outset, followed by some big ol' wallops of earthy red fruit and a deft touch of spice. With a firm, focused finish, it's great with sausages, meatloaf and, of course, paella. (The 2011 vintage arriving soon will be labeled "Altaroses.") Available at South Lyndale and Solo Vino.

It is an infectious collection of dance songs celebrating a once maligned genre that also manages to experiment beyond its confines. But those searching for more mainstream pop music should look elsewhere.
