Spanish on a wine site - translations

Looking at the website of a Rioja in Spain winery, Marques de Murrieta, I found both the Spanish and English pages were available

clientes - clients or customers
costa - coast, cost, expense
cuenta - account
crianza - pronounced cree ann th - a - table wine, basic wine, new wine
disfruta - enjoy, nothing to do with fruit, although you can remember it as enjoy the fruit (of the vine) and be fruitful and multiply
inicio - start (as in the English word initiative or instigate)
marcas - brands
Marquez - Marquis
Murrieta, Spanish wine name, after the name of the founder of the company, also a town in California established by a Basque person from Spain
pago - pay (I pay) nothing to do with page! But it's the page where you pay
paseo - avenue, drive, esplanade, promenade, seafront, stroll, walk (in place names and also a noun and verb)
r e s e r v a - reserved - held back for maturing in barrel and bottle, high quality
vinos - wines

http://www.spanishdict.com/translate/marqués - useful website gives pronunciation
