About The Club

Paella Perfect Wines is a concept inspired by the food of Cascal Restaurant in downtown Mountain View, CA. Cascal Restaurant has been offering spirited Pan-Latin cuisine for over 17 years. The experience at Cascal is unique and full of exotic flavors in a lively atmosphere, and that is the type of experience we want to deliver our club members. The club will include six unique selections of artisanal, food-friendly, small production wines from Portugal, Spain, Argentina and Chile. Each shipment contains tasting notes, descriptions and food pairings written by our expert team of sommeliers.

The Wine

Paella Perfect Wines is a sommelier curated wine club focused on wines from South America, Portugal and Spain. The wines are curated with the highest Quality to Price Ration (QPR) in mind. All chosen wines are respected globally for their excellent value, food friendliness, unique character and drinkability.
Spain

In Spain, where wine is nearly always shared with meals, the production of reasonably priced wine has been mastered in a way New World wine producers are only beginning to understand. From Rioja to Monsant to Bierzo, the choices are endless and always exceptional.

Portugal

Portugal, with its long history of grape growing and fortified wine production, has become a leader on the world stage for delicious, reasonably priced dry table wines. Like in Spain, fine wine has evolved into something that is seamlessly integrated into daily life. With over 250 native grape varieties, this region has a wealth of wine knowledge to explore.

South America

From Argentinian Malbec to Chilean Cabernet, South America makes wines of strikingly consistent quality and shocking value. With a nod to the bold flavors of the New World and a healthy respect for the character of the Old World, these wines should not be missed by any lover of the grape.

The Sommeliers

Randy Bertao

Randall “Randy” Bertao is of 100% Azorean descent and it was his maternal grandmother, an ethnic winemaker, who first introduced him to wine. In fact he bottled a barrel of her final vintage and is still in possession of a few bottles of it today. It was the age old European tradition of sharing wine at the table with family and the people you love that first inspired his vinous pursuit’s. Later, a chance encounter with a bottle of 1961 Chateau Lafite Rothschild, with all its thought provoking complexity, inspired a lifelong career odyssey that included restaurant management, ownership and importing wine in England that eventually lead him to the Court of Master Sommeliers where he earned his Master Sommelier credential in 2005, one of only 269 worldwide. Randy loves sharing his knowledge and expertise with savvy and novice tasters alike. He currently lectures and proctors examinations for the Court of Master Sommeliers, and enjoys mentoring students as they advance through the program. He has endless curiosity and is always inspired to introduce wine lovers to new and interesting wines.
