In Paso Robles, the varietal thrives in the region's diverse microclimates, producing wines with intense flavors and great complexity (Paso Robles Wineries).Albariño:Hailing from the Rias Baixas region of Spain, Albariño is celebrated for its crisp acidity, aromatic profile, and versatility. The cool coastal influences and calcareous soils of Paso Robles make it an ideal location for growing Albariño, which has gained significant acclaim on the Central Coast (Brecon Estate) (Wine Country This Week).Alternative Tastes Wine FestWe are also excited to promote the "Alternative Tastes Wine Fest," a two-day event celebrating Paso's unique varieties, including Albariño and Tannat.

In 2010, Radio Host Adam Montiel combined his longtime love for broadcasting with his, then, new love for wine. He created and produced, ‘The Cork Dorks'. The show was hosted with Adam and his good friend Jeremy. It was the first of its kind. It began focusing on central coast wineries but as the show grew, so did their ability to travel and meet other winemakers they found everywhere from Napa to Bordeaux that adopted that same Central Coast quality of people willing to share their wines, and their stories. As the area grew, soon Adam's interview's covered everything from spirits, craft beer, cider, cuisine, hospitality, and more. Fast forward to today, the spirit and enthusiasm cultivated with the award winning show, is reborn as The Pour with Adam Montiel, this time independently, and unfettered by corporate authority leaving it even more free to share the journey of making wine more approachable and fun for everyone. Here, We Taste It. We Spill It. We Leave it All On the Table. This is ‘The Pour' with Adam Montiel.__________Sincere Thanks to those who support The Pour.

If Rías Baixas is famous for one thing, it's characterful, invigorating white wine based on the superstar Albariño grape - described in this episode by one winemaker as a variety that can take you, 'from the swimming pool to the Michelin-starred restaurant.' Its blossoming popularity over recent decades has given rise to imitators all around the wine world - so what is it that makes Rías Baixas Albariño special, and why? Is there more to the story than just Albariño here? Who's doing exciting things? And what does the future hold?In this second and concluding part of our two-parter, sponsored by DO Rías Baixas, we ask the big questions of key growers including Vicky Mareque (Pazo Señorans), Isabel Salgado (Fillaboa), Lúcia Barbosa (Adegas Galegas), Lucia Freire (Santiago Ruiz) and Natalia Rodríguez (Señorío de Rubiós). We also feature a number of outstanding wines, from Fillaboa's 1898 to Selección de Añada (2014 and 2003) by Señorans.We cover everything from terroir, subzones, blends, experimentation, oak, climate change, competition and more.

What do bagpipes, rain, witches, pilgrimage, lampreys and Albariño all have in common? Not much really - but they are all featured in this episode on Rías Baixas, the intriguing wine region in north-west Spain famous for its seafood, verdant landscapes and refreshing, brine-tinged white wines.Historically, this was always a remote region of hardy fishermen and misty hillsides. But since the 1980s a wine revolution has been taking place, majoring on a distinctive style of Albariño we wine drinkers have lapped up, and propelling the official appellation vineyard from a tiny 237 hectares in 1987 to 4,480 hectares today.In this first instalment of a sponsored two-parter with DO Rías Baixas, we get a feel for the place, its people, history, food and wines. We explore the region's famous whites, recommending some as we go, but also explore the lesser known reds and sparkling wines. Peter has a run-in with a sea urchin and a particularly pungent lamprey stew, and we hear from Stephanie Schilling (Santiago Ruiz), Susana Pérez (Pazo San Mauro), Fernando Oubiña (Mariscos Laureano), Natalia Rodríguez (Señorío de Rubiós), and Lúcia Barbosa (Adegas Galegas).Thanks for tuning in.

Hvordan er klimaet, hvor store er parcellerne og hvad gør jordbundsforholdene ved vinene i området? Hvad kendetegner albariño-druen og hvordan lugter og smager den? Albariño er blevet en kult-drue hos sommeliererne - hvilket image har har den og hvorfor har den fået dette image? Hvilken mundfølelse kan albariño give, hvad kan man spise til og hvad sker med vinene fra Rias Baixas, når man går op i pris på vinene? Til slut går vi lidt retro og læser højt fra en vinrejseguide fra 1989 og så skal vi høre en lille ferieberetning fra to lyttere som har været i Spanien. Det bliver både lidt gudommeligt og magisk.

Gus Clemens on Wine explores and explains the world of wine in simple, humorous, fun posts
This is the weekly newspaper column.Mother's Day 5-3-2023May is the Mother's Day month in the United States.The argument easily can be made that every day should be Mother's Day. Mothers are, after all, absolutely essential to the survival of our species. But we especially celebrate moms and grandmoms and mother figures Sunday, May 14. To give you plenty of time to prepare, suggestions on Mother's Day wine.Women drink wine. Surveys indicate women consume around 60 percent of the wine in the U.S. and easily drink more wine than they drink beer or spirits. You know your mother best, but the odds are good she will appreciate wine on her special day.Women are better wine tasters according to numerous studies. Women in childbearing years are significantly more sensitive to odors than pre-pubescent girls and post-menopausal women. Women of childbearing age can identify smells at concentrations up to 11 orders of magnitude better than men. No matter their age, women smell and sip better on average than men.Studies also show men and women experience wine differently. Much of that is tied to a woman's more nuanced ability to smell, plus more flavor receptors on their tongues. Women tend to note greater distinctions between wines and pick up a wider array of flavors. Women have an easier time picking up bitter notes than men, which may explain why women tilt—slightly—to enjoying sweeter wines. On the flip side, while men may miss subtle notes, they are more likely to have a positive experience with any wine they taste.Women's wine tasting ability improves more with practice and study than the same regimen with men. More men than women are sommeliers and wine professionals, but that speaks to old prejudices and boys club proclivities rather than the skills of women.Fortunately, the wine world is changing. It is no longer shocking for a woman to be the head winemaker, manager, or winery owner. That is an additional something to celebrate on May 14.Tasting notes• Vilarnau Rosé Delicat Brut Reserva NV: Elegant, balanced, red-fruit-driven delight, especially at this price point. Fresh, crisp, fun, fruity, bracing acidity. $12-15 Link to my review• Don Olegario Albarino, Rias Baixas 2019: Impressive complexity. Classic expression of a grape consistently earning respect. $19-22 Link to my review• Stoller Family Estate Pinot Noir Rosé, Willamette Valley 2022: Generous, delicate fruit with a charming balance of texture, acidity, and light body. $24-28 Last round: My grandmother is more than 80 years old and still doesn't need glasses. She drinks her wine right out of the bottle.This is a reader-supported publication. Upgrade to a paid subscription ($5/month) for access to bonus material and complete archives.

The Cogill's are highly enthusiastic about Steven Spielberg's autobiographical, Oscar-contending film, “The Fabelmans,” which emulates the legendary director as a young boy growing up wide-eyed about the movie-making experience.“Women Talking” is a difficult true story told with honesty and eloquence about a religious community of women terrorized and abused by the men in their lives. Writer/ Director Sarah Polley has created a top-ten film that is well-written and acted while packing an unflinching punch.Sommelier, Hayley Hamilton Cogill, raises a memorable glass of wine to, “The Fabelmans, with a captivating, historical wine from Beringer Vineyards, Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.And, with “Women Talking,” Hayley toasts the female winemakers of Rias Baixas, Spain a region run by the strength of women, where over 50% of the winemakers are female.

It's Monday, Let's raise a glass to the beginning of another week. It's time to unscrew, uncork or saber a bottle and let's begin Exploring the Wine Glass! Today, I am doing something very different than normal. The podcast will be all me! I am in the process of studying for my Spanish Wine Scholar Certification and I thought it would be beneficial to do a podcast on Galicia. This would require me to dive deep into the autonomous region and hopefully get the details drilled into my brain. If you also read my blog or follow me on social media, you know how much I adore Albarino and Rias Baixas. It is truly a dream to be able to visit the region one day and sip Albarino along the Mino and Sil rivers. For this episode, I give a brief introduction into the other DOs located in Galicia, but dive a bit deeper into Rias Baixas. If you enjoy Exploring the Wine Glass, I'd appreciate you giving me some love by taking two minutes out of your day to write up a review on whatever app you listen on. It is the best way to support the show. Music: WINE by Kēvens Official Video Follow me on Instagram! Follow me on Twitter!

Spanske drikkevennlige hvitviner er temaet når Svein og Jon Trygve entrer ukens podcast. Et vinområde man ikke kommer utenom er Rias Baixas. Rias Baixas er kjent for sine syrlige matvennlige viner laget på druene Alvarinho og Albariño. Disse druene vinner stadig mer terreng når man trenger en prisgunstig god “hverdagsvin”. Rias Baixas ligger i regionen Galicia, nordvest i Spania. Under 1 % av produksjonen i Rías Baixas er rødvin, noe som i seg selv forteller om fokuset til vinprodusentene derfra.Granbazán Albariño Etiqueta Verde 2021 kr 219,90Terras Gauda O Rosal 2021 kr 219 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In this episode we don't have a winemaker to present, a soil expert or map maker on our program but instead a chef and sommelier. Our guest today is chef José González-Solla (Pepe to his friends) of the renowned Casa Solla, close to Pontevedra in Galicia. Initially, it was known for its excellent, traditional, home cooking but when Solla took over from his parents, he transformed the whole business through his inventive style of cooking based on the freshest local ingredients. And he was successful not only in his re-thinking of the menu but also because he retained a strong following among his customers. The earthly delights prepared by the great Spanish chef Pepe Solla who has achieved a one Michelin star for Casa Solla in Galicia, (originally achieved from when his father was at the helm), featuring the authenticity of Galician flavors, can be enjoyed at Casa Atlántico and Atlántico Casa de Petiscos, the chef's Galician embassies in the center of Madrid. Now that the chef has opened another branch in Lisbon, Pepe Solla's cuisine has become more accessible than ever. Pepe says that “Galicia is the best place in the world to be a chef!” Largely due to the excellent quality of ingredients available in the region. Poly-agriculture in this area is a tradition with families planting potatoes and other produce underneath their vines grown on the granite anchored “para” training system resulting in a wealth of fresh, quality ingredients. In Galicia, dishes are often seasoned with a secret ingredient – pimentón, a smoked Spanish paprika. There is also the bounty of the sea to draw from which includes those famous razor clams and the Pulpo Gallego, not to mention Galician pork which is a specialty of region based on Galicia's unique breed of pig that's quite different from the Iberian pigs prevalent in most of Spain. There are native poultry breeds and a wealth of local cheeses made into unique shapes such as the mushroom-shaped cheese known as Cebreiro, the creamy Arzùa-Ulloa, the golden pear-shaped of San Simón da Costa and the cheese known as Tetilla . . . . Pepe Solla belongs to a group called the Grupo Nove, a 100%-Galician gastronomic movement. Members include about 20 Galician chefs, champions of their new regional cuisine based on top-quality, local raw, ingredients and innovation within this realm. They aim to bring Galicia out of its anonymity as a region, where very few people can name even a handful of chefs, and to showcase the excellence of the local food. Salivating? Join us as we ask chef Pepe Solla for tips on cooking at home and how best to enjoy the energetic wines of Rias Baixas.
In Episode 4 in a five-part series on Rias Baixas, the Wine Thieves speak with winemaker Emilio Rodriguez of the Terras Gauda winery in O Rosal, the largest privately owned winery in Rias Baixas. Emilio has been at Terras Gauda for longer than he can remember, and he is a big fan of some of the other native grapes of the region beyond Albariño, especially caiño blanco. He speaks about the sweeping changes that occurred in the region, bringing Rias Baixas out of the middle ages of homespun winemaking and into the modern, quality-focused industry it is today. O Rosal is in the spotlight, the third most important sub-zone of Rias Baixas in size after the Salnés Valley and Condado do Tea. A coastal region in the southwestern corner of Galicia, bordered by the Minho River and Portugal to the south, Condado do Tea to the east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. O Rosal accounts for about 11% of total plantings in Rias Baixas, and sits in temperature between that of Condado do Tea, the warmest, and Val do Salnés, the coolest.Albariño is the main variety here, but complementary white varieties loureiro, treixadura, caiño and even godello have a role to play. Terraced, south-facing vineyards along the north bank of the Minho enjoy excellent sun exposure, maximizing the nearly 2200 sunshine hours per year. Ripeness is nudged to a slightly higher degree than in the Salnés Valley, enabling even late varieties like caiño to deliver. Another distinguishing feature of Rosal is the band of schist bedrock that runs through the region, a variation on the otherwise granite-derived soils in most of the rest of the Rías Baixas D.O. You can expect the white wines of O Rosal to tilt more towards stone fruit flavours and relatively generous and rounded palate.Grab a glass of your prefered Atlantic white and join John & Sara on their continued journey across the misty terroir of Rias Baixas.

This is the weekly newspaper column.White oak crisis 4-13-2022American white oak is unique to the United States, essential to bourbon production, important in wine production, and threatened.There is no snap-your-fingers solution. White oaks need 60-90 years to mature into trees suitable for barrel production. We may have as little as a 30-year supply.Jackie Zykan, master taster for Old Forester Bourbon, notes: “American white oak is synonymous with bourbon for me. Using a different kind of wood would change the flavor entirely. The wood has a high vanillin content, oak lactone, and wood sugars. Very different than other woods. It also helps give American bourbon its amber hue.”The wine industry uses white oak but is not as dependent upon it as the bourbon industry. American white oak tends to be more dense and less porous than French oak. American oak allows more of the tree to be used in barrel making. Compared to French oak, American white oak is higher in lactones and vanillin, which imparts sweeter flavors of vanilla and coconut. French oak has more tannins. Winemakers often finish their wines in a mixture of American and French oak for this reason.Winemakers can use English and Hungarian oak, Italian chestnut, stainless steel, concrete, and amphora to finish wine—albeit each with different results. The wine world is not in the panic of bourbon/whiskey world, but winemakers certainly are concerned.Both industries responded by forming the White Oak Initiative. While there are about 104 million acres of white oak forestland, some 75 percent of those trees are classified mature. Surveys show 60 percent of American white oak acreage has no white oak seedlings and 87 percent no white oak saplings. Other trees, mainly maple and beech, are taking over.Involved parties responded. Bulleit Frontier Whiskey pledged to plant one million white oak trees over the next five years. Beam Suntory, Brown-Forman, and Sazerac pledged to source 50 percent of their barrels from sustainably managed forests by 2035. All well and good, and we may dodge the barrel bullet. But it will be a near-run thing.Tasting notes:• Hammeken Cellars Gotas de Mar Albariño, Rias Baixas, Spain 2020: Excellent example of albariño made by a cutting-edge Spanish wine operation with wide distribution.

Rias Baixas episode 3 of a five-part series: redefining Albariño, emerging styles, ageworthy wines, and the Condado do Tea subregion with special guest Isabel Salgado, winemaker at Fillaboa. In this episode we shift our focus over to the Condado do Tea sub-region. Condado de Tea is the second largest sub-region of the five, behind the Salnès Valley. It starts inland from O Rosal about 40 kilometres from the coast along the course of the Minho River into rugged, mountainous territory. The region gets its name from a tributary of the Miño, called the Tea River, which runs through Condado do Tea (the “County of Tea”). As the most inland of the sub-regions, it's the least Atlantic, although there is no question that all of Rias Baixas can be considered a maritime terroir. But, it's less directly affected by cooling marine breezes making it warmer overall. The soils are quite shallow here, with granite and slate sub-layers quite near the surface, with plenty of alluvial material along with pebbles and sand on top, deposited by both the Tea and the Miño rivers. Albariño is, again, the major grape, but Treixadura is the second variety of choice, which has a firm, steely structure, high acids and apple-y flavours. Today the Wine Thieves talk with Isabel Salgado, winemaker at the Fillaboa Estate, one of the oldest estates in Galicia and one of the largest in the land registry of Pontevedra. It features an exquisite garden of camellias, olive trees, and magnolias along with 50 hectares of vineyard divided into 12 parcels, mostly south-facing on the north (or right bank) of the Miño River. Isabel shares her thoughts on emerging styles of Albariño, including a wine she makes that spends 6 years ageing on lees before bottling, and experiment to extend the ageability of this variety so often consumed young.Join Isabella, John and Sara as they explore more unique facets of albariño when grown in this inland region on the pebbly soils left by the Tea and Miño Rivers.

This is part two of a five-part series on the Wine of Rias Baixas. In the first episode, we took you through the region, including a brief history and the technical details of climate and soils, sub-regions and the denominación of origin rules and regulations. If you missed it, you may want to go back and have a listen to our interview Katia Alvarez, winemaker at the Martin Codax winery of the Val do Salnés sub-region. In this episode, we remain in the Salnés valley sub-zone and speak with Diego Rios, the Chilean winemaker in charge of regional reference, Granbazán. We get to the bottom of the mysterious origins of albariño with Diego, the most widely planted grape in Rias Baixas today. Germanic tribes? Cistercian monks travelling the Way of St. James? or Roman foragers? Find out in this episode.Saltiness in wine is a strangely recurring theme on Wine Thieves, and we also look more deeply in this episode into its causes. Is it real? Or perceived? A trick of the other senses joining together to create the impression, or a bona fide dose of sodium? Does the terroir of Rias Baixas itself contribute to the perception of salinity? We discuss such riveting angles as sodium deposits on grapes, absorption through soils into vines, and even how the important Galician canned seafood industry might play a role… As always with scientific papers, our conclusions are that, "further study in this field is recommended”. So grab a glass of salty coastal Albariño from Green Spain, maybe some razor clams or pulpo a la gallega, and join Sara and John on this adventure into the past and future.Salud!Episode sponsored by D.O.

Welcome back and thank you for joining us for another season of Wine Thieves! We're off to a fresh start with our latest series in which we explore albariño, seaside vineyards and fresh Atlantic wines as we travel through the diverse wine-growing region of Rias Baixas. This small corner of northwestern “Green Spain” in the region of Galicia has emerged over the last couple of decades as a premier source of fresh, crunchy, salty wines that are mainly, but not exclusively, white. This first episode in the series will give you all the relevant background to the Denomination of Origin Rias Baixas and its wines, and includes an interview with winemaker Katia Alvarez, chief winemaker at Martìn Codax, one of the region's largest and most recognized producers around the globe. The winery is based in the sub-region of the Val do Salnès, the largest of the 5 subregions of Rias Baixas. The coastal landscape of Rías Baixas features a series of spectacular jagged inlets and shallow fjords known as “rias”, hence the name Rías Baixas, which means literally the “lower rias", or lower estuaries”. The D.O. Rias Baixas encompasses over 4000 hectares of vineyards, split into 5 sub-zones according to their topography and proximity to rivers and the sea. Although over 99% of all wine produced in Rías Baixas is white, differences in microclimates, terroir and grape varieties in the five sub-zones, as well as different winemaking techniques, make for impressive diversity. Styles range from crisp, aromatic citrusy and saline in Val do Salnés, to the peachier, softer style in O Rosal, and a less fruity, some say earthier style in Condado do Tea.Grab your map and your glass as we explore the remarkable hillside and terraced vineyards of Rias Baixas, discuss the traditional pergola system called "parra", learn why yields are so low, what wine style to expect from each subregion, how salty sea air affects coastal vineyards, and how hydric stress can occur in a rainy climate.

‘Fariña' es como se conoce la cocaína en gallego. Gran puerto de entrada a España localizada en el Atlántico, Galicia históricamente ha sido escenario de contrabando y narcotráfico, desde cigarrillos hasta cocaína. El libro ‘Fariña', investigación sobre el tráfico de cocaína en Galicia, traducido recientemente al francés en la editorial Le Cherche Midi, es una radiografía viva de medio siglo de comercio ilegal en esa sociedad. Galicia dispone de 1,480 kilómetros de litoral, distribuidos en tres regiones: Rias Baixas, Costa da Morte y Rias Altas. Ignacio ‘Nacho' Carretero la recorrió varios años para escribir ‘Fariña', investigación sobre el tráfico de cocaína en Galicia, un libro cuya primera edición en español enfrentó la obstrucción de las autoridades e incluso un intento de proceso. "Al día de hoy desconozco la razón por la que, en términos jurídicos, el libro fue secuestrado, es decir fue prohibida su venta, su publicación, incluso su impresión. Creo, si soy sincero, se debió a un error judicial, pero no creo que fuera por los resortes del poder o una teoría de la conspiración que estuviera escondida detrás. Todavía al día de hoy nos seguimos preguntando por qué ocurrió, porque esto es algo que no sucede en España", asegura el invitado de Escala en París. Pesca y tráfico de cigarrillos Galicia era una zona extremadamente pobre, lo que explicaría que al final de la guerra civil española, muchas familias de pescadores comenzaron a dedicarse al tráfico de cigarrillos, una actividad muy lucrativa donde participaban los traficantes, las autoridades, la iglesia, sin verdadera presencia del Estado español. Esa situación se extendió varias décadas, por lo que "el contrabando era una cosa muy beneficiosa para la población, el tabaco daba empleo, daba riqueza, entonces los contrabandistas eran vistos como benefactores sociales, como líderes sociales que tenían contactos al más alto nivel político, policías, y eran respetados socialmente. De manera que ni los políticos, ni las autoridades consideraban necesario intervenir y desmontar un negocio que era bien visto. Y cuando el Estado se dio cuenta, ya era demasiado tarde y había una red mafiosa instaurada en Galicia". En los años ochenta, las reglas y condiciones para luchar contra el tráfico cambiaron, siendo determinante la entrada de España a la Comunidad Económica Europea (CEE), convertida después en Unión Europea. Nacho Carretero considera que el ingreso a la CEE cambió la legislación, los medios y también las fronteras, pues hasta ese momento los contrabandistas y traficantes se podían refugiar en Portugal o en Francia cruzando la frontera. Los años 80, el salto al narcotráfico "Antes del ingreso en la Unión Europea, el contrabando y el narcotráfico tenían el mismo castigo, por lo tanto, ante un riesgo igual el beneficio era mucho mayor si se traficaba con cocaína o hachís en lugar de tabaco, de ahí que muchos de estos jefes, de estas familias dieron a inicio de los años ochenta el salto a la droga y heredaron todas esas infraestructuras, todo ese respaldo social que venían del contrabando, haciendo que la narco cultura o la actividad legalizada del narcotráfico se perpetuara", explica el periodista también autor de 'En el Corredor de la Muerte'. 'Operación Nécora' Fue a mediados de los años noventa que se produjo la primera gran operación contra los narcotraficantes. La 'Operación Nécora', conducida por el juez Baltazar Garzón. Una premisa de lo que vendría después. "Esa reacción del Estado viene promovida por una reacción social en Galicia encabezada por las madres. Cuando la droga comienza a hacer estragos, en Galicia conocemos lo que se llama la 'generación perdida'. Una generación de jóvenes nacidos en los años setenta, que empieza a caer víctima de la masiva presencia de droga. Estas madres reaccionan y dicen éstos no son los benefactores sociales que eran", precisa. "Son criminales, y se enfrentan a ellos de una manera muy valiente porque en aquella época nadie se enfrentaba a los narcotraficantes. Este grupo de mujeres, en principio muy reducido, comienza a pelear contra ellos, se les une progresivamente el resto de la sociedad hasta que a los políticos, a las autoridades, no les queda más remedio que hacer caso de lo que la sociedad está exigiendo: que se les plante cara, y ahí es que aparece el juez Garzón", cuenta. La peración 'Nécora' se desarrolla desde Madrid. Los tentáculos y las redes del narcotráfico llegaban a todos los ámbitos judiciales y políticos, por lo que si se intervenía tenía que ser desde la confidencialidad, y desde la capital. Con la 'operación Nécora' del juez Garzón, se envió un mensaje: "el Estado empieza a vigilarlos, el Estado va a reaccionar, entonces los narcos también aprenden un poco esa lección y cambian el perfil, hoy son discretos, son invisibles, y son casi anónimos. Entonces la percepción es que en Galicia el narcotráfico es una cosa del pasado. La realidad es que hoy, aunque invisibles, los narcotraficantes son más poderosos que nunca y mueven más droga que nunca". #EscalaenParís también está en las redes sociales. Un programa coordinado por Florencia Valdés, realizado por Souheil Khedir y Vanessa Loiseau.
Hoy nos hemos decidido a acercaros una colección de preciosos temas, grabaciones en algún caso relativamente recientes, pero que por una u otra razón no aparecen en ninguna de las plataformas de streaming de mayor uso por parte de los aficionados. No las podréis encontrar ni en Spotify, ni en Apple Music ni en Amazon y además son muy difíciles de localizar en formato CD, algunas de ellas ni siquiera han sido editadas jamás en dicho formato y por tanto tan solo podrías escucharles si adquieres el vinilo original, eso suponiendo que tengas un plato para reproducirlo y que además estés dispuesto a pagar una suma en algunos casos bastante importante por él. Este es un tema que nos preocupa especialmente en el tejado ya que estamos hablando de pequeñas obras de arte que si alguna discográfica no lo remedia, en unos pocos años quedarán irremediablemente en el olvido. Por si os interesa el tema comentaros que el capítulo de hoy será nuestro tercer programa dedicado al Jazz Descatalogado. Si os interesa además de este programa podéis consultar nuestros capítulos 15 y 53, también dedicados al, digamos, jazz olvidado. Comentar además que el capítulo de hoy será tremendamente ecléctico. Escucharemos jazz, fusion jazz, jazz funk, blues, latín jazz, samba, bossanova, algo de rock, gotitas de pop, aromas de smooth jazz pero lo haremos a la forma y manera de los gatos, es decir, que lo que os entregaremos será una refinada mezcla de todos esos ingredientes. Y es que como dice nuestro seguidor Tobi que nos escucha desde las Rias Baixas en la preciosa Galicia, “el agua destilada es muy pura, pero no se puede beber”.
En este episodio hablamos de la región de Rias Baixas, la casa de los vinos Albariño. Tenemos el placer de contar con Mar de Frades en la cata del episodio.
I need to thank the Commission of Vinho Verde for hosting this trip to the region and setting up such wonderful experiences that really gave a 360˚ view of this region. Photo: ©Wine For Normal People, Vineyards of Aveleda After talking about a wonderful tasting at Graham's Port Lodge in Vila Nova di Gaia (across the Douro from Porto) and Quinta do Noval, we discuss some important things about Vinho Verde that augment Episode 291 from my time there. This show is not about the base tier wines – fizzy, cheap and cheerful versions, but about the premium wines that are single grape varieties and made in interesting ways. It's a look into the diversity that Vinho Verde has to offer, beyond what you may know! We discuss some key points on Vinho Verde: There are nine subregions (see below for more detail). Depending on whether they are in the north or the south, closer to the Atlantic or inland, styles and grapes vary enormously. We talk about the thing that wowed me the most: how very different the aromas and flavors of wines of this region are based on the soil they grow on – granite v. schist We discuss the main grapes and their general flavor profiles: Loureiro: A grape with herbal bitterness, that's floral, and creamy. It's the top grape of coastal areas. Arinto: The MVP that adds acidity and minerality to blends, this is the base of most Vinho Verde sparkling wine. Trajadura: Although very light in flavor with low acidity, it adds body to blends. I found it tastes like stems – woody but not oaky. It's great with Loureiro and Alvarinho. Alvarinho: The same grape as Albariño from Rias Baixas on the western coast of Spain. Here the grape seems more tropical, but more acidic because unlike the Spanish, the producers in Vinho Verde do not put the wine through malo-lactic fermentation so the acidity is a bit sharper. The grape is from this region and interesting versions show rosemary and other savory herbal notes with salinity. We discuss the various permutations of the grape – there is experimentation with oak, amphora, eggs (stainless steel and concrete), and extended skin contact and what those versions are like. Avesso: An unusual grape, it represents only 2-3% of production because it is so tricky to grow. When it is good it is like pears, red apple, flowers and the texture is creamy, even though it doesn't undergo malolactic fermentation. It's a grape/wine worth seeking out. Azal: A rare grape grown only in some of the subregions, it is like citrus and herbs. It is usually marked for blending but the varietal wines are high in minerality and acidity and not short on fruit flavor. Photo: ©Wine For Normal People, Arinto Grape in Sousa And the reds: Vinhão: In its best form smells good – like incense, violets and lilies, but I found it can also smell like goat poop, band-aid, and dirt. It is lower in alcohol and very acidic (some versions are tannic). An inky, light style red with lots of flavor, this is really a local wine, made in a very local style, not for broader consumption. It is used in rosé but often blended with Touriga Nacional, the famed grape of the Douro/Port. Espadeiro: Another hard to grow grape, it is late ripening and tastes of strawberry and cherry. It is used for rosé. As well. Touriga Nacional: A lighter version of Portugal's star grape from just over the mountains in the Douro. Regions and their main grapes: Lima: Herbal, fresh and grassy Loureiro is their wine. The wines are lovely. Ave: Both single variety wines and blends of Loureiro, Arinto, Trajadura, Alvarinho. The Alvarinho + Trajadura blend is common and produces green herb, tangerine notes. Producer: Sao Giao Cavado: Similar to Lima, with fresh Loureiro and some Arinto for very acidic sparkling wine, Alvarinho that is peachy, floral and acidic. Sousa specializes in floral, talc-like and acidic Loureiro , Arinto for sparkling and for blending to add body to Loureiro, Alvarinho as the more serious wine that has lime and flint notes, and Trajadura, which is light and rounds out blends. Producers: Quinta da Lixa, Quinta das Arcas (Arca Nova) Photo: ©Wine For Normal People, Quinta das Arcas in Sousa Amarante is in the southeast. It makes a lot of different grapes but we focused on the Avesso grape, which is floral, like pears and red apples, bready (from lees contact) and creamy, as is the nature of the grape. I love this grape, it belongs in the full whites category with Rhone whites, Priorat whites, Verdejo, and Fiano. Producers: A&B Valley Wines, Curvos Basto is in the southeast as well, with Douro on the other side of the mountains. Avesso, Arinto, Azal, and Alvarinho are the main grapes. Azal is a rare grape that is acidic with green apple, citrus, herbal, lemon, grass, mineral notes and and acidic yet savory quality. (I mention that only about 10 -15 pure Azals made in the world, Quinta da Razas in one of them). Producer: Quinta da Razas Photo: ©Wine For Normal People, Harvest team at Quinta da Raza in Basto Monçao e Melgaço is the home of Alvarinho! There is traditional Alvarinho and then there is so much experimentation with the grape that flaovrs range enormously. The standard bearers show tropical fruit, lime, and floral notes with characteristic strong acidity because the wines don't go through malolactic fermentation. Granite v schist soils make a difference and any number of styles from sparkling to oak aged, to amphora aged to skin contact wines are being made. Producers: Soalheiro, Adega de Monçao, Quinta da Santiago. I did not visit the subregions of Paiva and Baiao so we don't discuss them in the show, but they are in the south and specialize in Arinto, Avesso, Azal, with some Loureiro. All in all it was a lovely trip! The producers are open to the public, so it's an easy and fun few days to plan if you love white wines and want to learn something new! _____________________________ Thanks for our sponsors this week: Wine Access: Access to the best wines for the best prices!

In the tradition of Aphrodite, the goddess of love and fertility, after which aphrodisiacs are named, we give you a list of 12+ foods that inspire love and passion, and the wines to match. Date night just got more exciting!! You can let us know if any of these actually work. William Blake Richmond, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons Here's the list of the top 14 aphrodisiac foods and the wines to pair with them: 1. Watermelon is rich in L-citrulline, an amino acid that helps improve blood flow. Like Viagra, L-citrulline increases blood flow to the sexual organs but without any negative side effects! Put it in a salad with feta and arugula (rocket, also and aphrodisiac so you get a double hit of spice in your life). Wine: Spanish rosé. I like a Monastrell-based wine because it's bolder and fruitier than some other Spanish versions, and you need that fruit to stand up to the flavors in this tasty but sweet, bitter, and salty salad. You can use a California rosé too, but Pinot Noir may be too light so get something a bit bolder and made from a different grape. 2. Salmon (and other cold water fish like herring, anchovies, sardines) has lots of omega-3s, which encourage good moods, good skin, good brainpower and a good sex drive! Since salmon can be prepared in so many different ways, we give a few wine ideas: Raw salmon (sashimi or tartare) goes well with a dry rosé (here you can use a Provence rosé) or Albariño from Rias Baixas, Spain Salmon in a butter sauce (beurre blanc): A slightly oaked Chardonnay like a white Burgundy or an Oregon Pinot Gris could work Grilled salmon: New Zealand Pinot Noir or St. Amour from Beaujolais would be fantastic Blackened salmon: Zinfandel but make sure it's not over-the-top (Here's the wine I said should be the standard for all CA Zin: Nalle Estate Old Vines Zinfandel) 3. Oysters. Both because they are thought to resemble certain female body parts and because Romans in the 2nd century AD claimed that women had much prowess after eating them, oysters have become the standard for aphrodisiac food. Wine: If you like the magnification of salt, go for a Chablis, Muscadet, Albariño, or Champagne. If you dislike that, stick with a Bordeaux Blanc or a Côte du Rhône blanc, both of which have lower acidity so it won't make the oysters seem quite as salty. 4. Asparagus. Well M.C. Ice had ALL sorts of issues with this one, but it's on all the lists I've found, so it has to make ours too. Another food that is all about increasing and maintaining sex drive, both its intrinsic properties and its "interesting" shape contribute to its effectiveness. M.C. Ice was grossed out by the smell factor and the shape argument really made him squirm. 5. Avocado. This one comes from the Aztecs. They called the avocado tree "ahuacuatl." That means "testicle tree", because the avocados hang in pairs off the branches, so...yeah. Wine: Avocado is great alone or in salads, sandwiches, or with Mexican. If you are having Haas avocados, the most popular type in the U.S., you'll notice they are both creamy and nutty. What's a wine that's creamy and nutty? One of my favorite whites: Fiano di Avellino, which has a lovely almond or hazelnut finish. Arneis from Piedmont could work too. 6. Carrot and ginger soup. Here we go again with the shape thing... but carrots also have beta carotene and lots of other good for you vitamins, which Middle Easterners believed aided in making people more attractive. Ginger is spicy and it helps get your blood flowing. It also tastes delicious when combined with carrots in a soup! Wine: If you're having roasted carrots (and other dishes that will fit this) you can easily pair them with a red like Côtes-du-Rhône or another Grenache-based wine that will be moderate enough to stand up to char but let the carroty flavor shine through. If you take our suggestion of the soup (and add coriander, which we mention is known to increase sexual appetite), you'll have a trifecta of goodness that will pair well with Alsace Riesling or a Viognier from California or from the northern Rhône. 7. Truffles. I'm not talking about the chocolate kind. I'm talking about the rare kind found in the Piedmont of Italy that Greeks and Romans both claimed the musky scent of truffles made people's skin more sensitive and that's a good thing for a healthy love life. Wine: Slightly older Barolo or Barbaresco (also from Piedmont) is a perfect fit for the earthy, barnyard, mushroom note of truffles. Especially if the truffles are with red meat, bolder versions of these Nebbiolo-based wines will be perfect matches. If you are having risotto or pasta with truffles, have Fiano di Avellino from Campania, or a bold white from the Rhône. I would steer clear of fruity, young wine for this pairing. 8. Fennel. The ancient Greeks found this vegetable which is like a celery, licorice mash-up (both also alleged aphrodisiacs), to be a real labido enhancer. Maybe it's because it has plant estrogen in it! Wine: If you are have a steak with roasted fennel or a soup or stew with a fennel base, a great Northern Rhône Syrah or a more subtle California Syrah will be an excellent pairing. The flavors of a Syrah -- the rich fruit, the black pepper, and the spice will be great with the fennel notes. For lighter style fennel dishes like vegetarian soups with a fennel base or chicken with a fennel cream sauce, a white Rioja or a slightly oaky Chardonnay can each hold their flavor and structure against the strong celery/licorice notes well. 9. Figs. Like oysters, when cut open, figs allegedly resemble a female body part and for that reason they have always been considered a food for the amorous. Because having them on their own presents a tough wine pairing challenge we recommend having them with a little cheese -- goat, feta or especially blue with counter some of that natural sweetness. Wine: If you take the idea of having figs with cheese for your date night appetizer or tapas, you are going to need a very fruity, bold red to pair. Zinfandel, or southern Italian wines like Nero d'Avola, Primitivo (Zinfandel), and Negro Amaro can take on both the sweetness of the figs and the salty, penicillin-like note of the blue cheese. A slightly sweet tawny or ruby Port could also do the trick quite well. 10. Pesto (the aphrodisiac trifecta). Basil produces a sense of well-being and boosts fertility. Garlic spices up your desires. Pine nuts have zinc, which increases male potency. Put them together and bam! the most love enhancing potion there is. Wine: Pesto comes from Liguria, right near the Piedmont region of northwest Italy. Cortese di Gavi and ARneis are classic Piedmont whites that have enough flavor to stand up to the garlic, a nuttiness to go well with the pine nuts, and excellent acidity to make them stand out. If you want a light red, stick with Piedmont again -- a simple Barbera, Freisa or Grignolino will do the trick. 11. Dessert of strawberries, raspberries and vanilla cake or whipped cream. Strawberries and raspberries are said to invite love. Latin American legend tells us that the vanilla plant was created when a beautiful young girl fell in love with a boy from the wrong class, and when a god asked for her hand and she said no, he got so angry he turned her into a vanilla plant. Wine: The honeyed, apricot flavors and good acidity of Sauternes or Barsac from Bordeaux would be excellent dessert partners. A late harvest (Auslese) Riesling from Mosel would be great or a lighter style fizzy wine like Moscato d'Asti also work wonders with berry vanilla desserts. Each of these ideas would work but my favorite pairing for berry vanilla desserts is demi sec Champagne 12. Wine! All on it's own, is an aphrodisiac in a bottle! Whether it's because your inhibitions go away or because alcohol also increases blood flow, red wine and Champagne, specifically, have been praised for raising the libidos and amorous intentions of those who consume it (in moderation). Apart from Champagne, which is always a great wine to pair with any food, and to liven up any dinner, here are some love inspired wines to consider: Romeo and Juliet, the greatest love story of all time, lived in the city of Verona. To pay homage, drink the bold reds of the region: Valpolicella and Amarone If you want the more pious route, you could pay homage to St. Valentine, the patron of love, marriage, and relationships. His relics are in a few key spots around Europe and you can choose which you like best for your wine selection! 1. St. Valentine's remains lie in Rome. Although Lazio's wines are a bit lacking, you could get a Sagrantino di Montefalco from Umbria (it borders Lazio in the northeast) or a lovely Piedirosso or Aglianico from Campania (borders Lazio to the south). Close enough, and these are great reds! 2. Relics of St. Valentine's are also in Madrid. There are some wines coming from Madrid now, but if you can't find those, get the rich reds of Ribera del Duero to inspire love. If you prefer white, get the whites of Rueda, in the same zone as Ribera del Duero, due north of Madrid. 3. It's a little unclear whether the relics in Roquemaure in the Rhône are the real deal, but if it justifies drinking Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which is across the river, I'll go with it! **Note: there are also a ton of St. Valentine stuff in Dublin, so if you want a Guinness, that works too! Whether its for Valen-wine, date night, or to test the properties of these aphrodisiac foods, we wish you a fun filled night!

Martin Codax is a superb story of co-operation, innovation and independence. When its grower members came together back in 1986 the world, for the most part, had never heard of wine from Galicia, tasted Albarino or could pronounce Rias Baixas. Today, white wine from the region has captivated the world of wine to the extent that Albarino from Rias Baixas is considered the Finest of Spanish white wines. In this episode Celina Rodriguez guides us through the region, its subzones and, of course, the wines of Martin Codax. Martin Codax also produces Mencia based wines from Bierzo (Cuatro Pasos) and Godello based wines from Monterrei (Mara Martin). All three regions and their wines are represented in Ireland by Barry and Fitzwilliam. The story behind how the Cantabrian Brown Bear conservation programme is supported by Martin Codax is fabulous. Read it HERE. Martin Codax Albarino will feature in the forthcoming SuperValu Spanish Wine Sale. More about that on WineIreland.blog closer to the middle of February. In anticipation of that I attended a SuperValu webinar for the press acouple of weeks ago and listened once more to the Martin Codax story. It is so good I just had to bring it to our Podcast! In this episode I am guilty of telling two of my own stories from a visit I made to Galicia as far back as 2002. Apologies for my indulgence as the Martin Codax story is told to us here so brilliantly by Celina Rodriguez. Enjoy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- While all restaurants in Ireland were closed until recently many reopened. That was great news - Open Again. Then we heard that they had to close once more - on Chrstmas Eve. Tough times, Tough times indeed. Here's hoping for a more succesful business environment in 2021. We should remember that many of these, including the wonderful Monty's of Kathmandu, are family businesses. They are often small and brilliant and need our support more than ever.

Lidl brings us an interesting and wide variety of wine styles. At times the selection available might be seasonal or themed. To help us through the eclectic nature of wine specials, grape types and areas of origin Lidl employs the services of a Master of Wine, Richard Bampfield to help us. To help us even further Lidl has a (flattering) photo of Richard beside each of its wine sections. In this podcast we chat with Richard about Lidl, his 100 point Scores and the current selection of summer wine styles available at Lidl. We begin with the Gavi at €9.99 mention the Sparkling Ribolla Gialla €16.99 and along the way find time for Refosco, Rias Baixas, Rueda, Toro and many, many others. I concentrate in this podcast (mainly!) on Iberian and Italian styles but you will also find over the course of summer 2020 a selection available from both New Zealand and South America. As with most of my chat podcasts we manage here to drift across Champagne, Cava, South Africa, Portugal - and beyond. As we said at the beginning Lidl brings us an interesting and wide variety of wine styles. Enjoy. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- While all restaurants in Ireland are closed right now they WILL open again. We all hope that this is soon.

I hope that my podcasts are helping you through the long days of social distancing. As we begin another week, I wish safety and health to all of you. Today’s podcast is another virtual tasting trip. This one took me to, although I have never been, one of my favorite places on earth. I can close my eyes and take a sip of wine from this region and I can see myself walking on a stunning sand beach. I imagine myself in the center of the most beautifully green land that I have ever seen. There are women diving for crustaceans and of course there is wine. Although the region does produce some lovely red wines, they are known for their whites. Their reputation for salinity and acidity in their wines, makes winelovers crave them. And today a group of wine lovers got together over Zoom, and enjoyed a glass of Albarino together while learning about the magnificent wine region known as Rias Baixas. Thank you to Gregory and Vine for arranging this happy hour and thanks to the wonderful wine educators , Rick Fisher and Kat Thomas for leading the journey.

Oooof an hour long podcast dealing with the intricacies of everything from Rias Baixas to Rioja. Hold on to your seats !
40 crus in a glass @RiasBaixasWines @PommeryOfficial #champagne #spanishwine Co hosts : Good ol Boy Harmeet, Made Man Maury, Good ol Gal Denise, and Made Man Bob SIPS Episode – We take on all of the ineptitude to pronounce wines from Spain correctly.

If you think Vinho Verde (pronounced veeng-yo vaird) is just a fizzy summer sipper, we're about to open up a new world for you in this show. You CAN get the run of the mill stuff but with multiple grapes, regions, and producer styles, if you dig deeper this wine has way more to it than you think! Overview Vinho Verde is not a grape variety, it is a DOC (wine area) It literally translates to 'green wine' but means young wine – wine released 3-6 months after the grapes are harvested This is one of Portugal’s largest regions: 21,000 ha/51,000 acres of vineyards are planted -- 9% of the total in Portugal 19,000 growers – like Champagne, 600 bottlers 85 million liters of wine each year 86% of the wine from Vinho Verde is white What wine is here? Red, white, rosé, or sparkling. Can be late harvest OR brandy! If labeled with grape, subregion or quality level (Escolha, Grande Escolha, Superior, Colheita Selectionada Top white grapes: Alvarinho, Arinto, Avesso, Azal, Batoca, Loureiro, and Trajadura Top red grapes: Amaral, AzalbTinto, Borraçal, Brancelho, Espadeiro, Padeiro, Pedral, Rabo de Ovelha and Vinhão Winemaking: The wine was fizzy because malolactic fermentation took place in the bottle as it sat on the shelf! Today, carbonation is added to finished wine to add sparkle Wine style: Light and fresh whites: high natural acidity, with fruity and floral aromas that depend on the grape variety Have slight sparkle with low alcohol History Vinho Verde produced wine for over 2,000 years, one of the oldest regions in Portugal Celts and Romas came, then Visigoths and Moors During middle Ages: Vinho Verde may have been exported in the 12th century, to England, Germany, and Flanders – especially from top regions of Monção and Melgaço and Ribeira de Lima Maize arrived in the 16th century alog with regulations to maximise production of it New regulations banished vines to the field margins, where they grew up high, forcing the vignerons to pick them from tall ladders Today most of Vinho Verde Region is now using modern methods, which give larger and better yield. EU in 1986 improved technology – more capital, opened up the markets Location/Land: Vinho Verde is Portugal’s northernmost wine producing region, above 40° latitude Series of granite-based plateaus within the valleys of the Minho, Ave, Cávado, and Lima rivers Most of the Vinho Verde region is at or near sea level -- highest elevation at 2,300 feet Climate: Temps go between 46°F (8°C) in winter and 68°F (20°C) in the summer – green landscape, temperate climate Cooler coastal regions like Lima, Cávado and Ave -- more marine influence with cooler average temperatures and higher rainfall inland subregions - Baião and Basto are both warmer Annual rainfall is high – 47+ inches (1200 mm) in the winter and spring months Subregions: 9, can be on the label with the name Vinho Verde Monção e Melgaço: Best region, but least typical Vinho Verde Inland DOP subregion, along the hillsides of the Minho River’s south bank White: Alvarinho is best. Fresh but fuller than Rias Baixas, occasionally with some oak Reds: Pedral, Alvarelhão Lima: Highest levels of rainfall. Granitic soils and a small area with shale-based soil. White: Loureiro grape: citrus fruits, rose notes, can be full like Alvarinho Use whites Arinto and Trajadura Red: Vinhão and Borraçal – crunchy, crisp fruity aroma 3 Similar regions: Cávado, Ave, Sousa -- Mild Sea winds, irregular topography, low altitude, mild climate, Whites: Arinto, Loureiro and Trajadura with moderate acidity, citrus fruits and ripe apple and pears. Reds: Vinhão and Borraçal grapes (not in Ave but in Cávado and Sousa) Sousa: Espadeiro is often used to make rosé wines. Basto: inland – HOT with high rainfall High altitude, cold, wet winter, balls hot summer White: Azal is lemony with green apple notes Reds: Espadeiro, Rabo-de-Anho Amarante: Inland White: Azal, Avesso -- higher alcohol, more body because of heat Red: Amarante sub-region is famous for its red wines: especially Vinhão variety Paiva: Red: Vinhão gets great maturity and produce some of the most sought-after red wines Baião: Inland/continental On the border of Douro demarcated region, longer season Whites: Azal and Avesso (best ones from Avesso, creamy, fruity, with acidity) Red: Amaral Food Pairing: Salads, Asian cuisine, bacalao (cod) and other seafood, in cream sauce or breaded; pork and potato dishes Don't forget to order your Wine For Normal People book today too!! ____________________________________________________ Thanks to our sponsors this week: Thanks to YOU!

Terras Gauda is a winery in the O Rosal sub region of Rias Baixas in Galicia. They make the most brilliant Rias Baixas wine from Albarino grapes. By this I mean an enormous volume of very ripe, peach like fruits followed on the palate by a distinct rich, Hay and mineral spiciness. Delightful is too small a word! In this podcast we are joined by Mar Dopazo from Terras Gauda. Mar Guides us through Galici and beyond. This is story of brilliant and modern wine making in Spain. The great news is that Terras Gauda has expanded into other wine making regions of Spain. Now we can have the same quality wine making from Pittacum in Bierzo and Quinta Sardonia in the Ribera del Duero. --------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin Ecock's WinePod is brought to us with the assistance of the Santa Rita Wine Room at Monty's of Kathmandu - an excellent place to host your next event or celebration.

Alternately, we could call this real ass biaxas. We make a lot of puns with our good friend and best winemaker in California Ian Brand. Honestly, Ian brings out some weird energy. Everyone is mean to Kevin, and maybe its NOT OKAY, but he gets the last laugh by talking about dead white boy bands a bunch. Duck’s mangled brain creates a new character, a Frenchman who likes to drink pee. There’s a lot of wine knowledge imparted and some bizarre metaphysics unleashed upon the galaxy. This is the first Spanish deep dive we’ve done in a long time, and boy was that a mistake, Spain is bae #cannonical. Albarino is tasty and dare I say, fashionable?????? Please drink Ian’s wines: Le P’tit Paysan, La Marea, I.Brand and Family and probably a bunch more the dude can’t fucking leave well enough alone he’s got to keep making wine but what can you expect from a virgo AMIRITE?

Har du hørt om Vinos Atlanticos? I så fall er du godt informert i de nyeste vintrendene i verden. Men dette er altså et uttrykk ekspertene mener vi vil høre mer til i årene framover. Det handler om Atlanterhavet, og begrepet brukes fra Muscadet i nord til Jerez i sør. Heldigvis har vår kjære Anders reist rundt i flere områder som hører inn under denne paraplyen: Ribeiro, Rias Baixas og Ribeira Sacra i Spania. Vinho Verde og Colares i Portugal. Vi får bli med til sanddyner og bratte fjellskrenter, og utforsker mineralitet, eldgamle vinplanter, uttale av ord og uttrykk - og druer som Albariño, Loureiro og Mencia. Vi prøver også å svare på et lytterspørsmål fra Øystein Francis Hervik, og avduker hva som er vinverdenens Kåre Willoch. Har du spørsmål til oss? Send dem til podcast@vinmonopolet.no - vi blir så glade for alle som skriver til oss. Vinmonopolets eksperter Trond Erling Pettersen, Anders Roås Stueland og Anne Enggrav gir deg råd og tips om mat og drikke, øl og vin - og mye mer.

We share the story of Spain's Albariño/ Portugal's Alvarinho. From ancient fame, to near extinction, and then triumphant resurrection, this grape is one of our favorites -- aromatic, acidic, complex yet delicious! It's a must in your wine rotation. We also discuss Underground Wine Events, Washington D.C. on November 3. Go to www.undergroundwineevents.com to get your tickets before we sell out! $59 per person! Here are the show notes: Albariño/Alvarinho Spanish/Portuguese name for aromatic, high quality vine In Spain considered to be among the oldest varieties of the northwest History The regular: Romans, Cistercian monks, big fame in the 14th and 15th centuries with the discovery of the New World /colonies And its own quirks: Trade wars and export bans in the 19thcentury led to overcapacity and vineyard abandonment, and some issues with drugs Phylloxera devastated vineyards, during the replanting in the early 20th century, Albariño began to emerge as the region’s star, with new generation of skilled winemakers – many of them women Spain Rías Baixas called “Green Spain”, Moderate year-round temperatures, damp Atlantic-influenced climate but lots of sunshine for ripening granite and alluvial soil Rías Baixas, “Lower Rivers”—referring to the four estuaries in the region’s southwestern edge. Albariño 96 percent of plantings. of Producers: Approx. 180 Portugal – Alvarinho Grown in northwest Portugal over the border in Galicia in NW Spain Great diversity – probably an old variety Some in CA, Oregon, Australia thought they were growing it but it was the French grape Savagnin In the vineyard Moderately vigorous, controlling yields is important Thick skins so they can withstand damp climate Trellising system is important – can reduce or increase yields, help with reducing mildew issues but can encourage overcropping too Most all grapes are hand-harvested Winemaking Temperature control in modern, stainless steel tanks Wild yeast fermentation is common Sometimes oak matured or aged for years on the lees (dead yeast cells) in stainless before release, for texture and increasing the aging potential of Rias Baixas wines. Wine Flavors: Peach, apricot, melon, pineapple, mango and honeysuckle. Sometimes a salty marine note. High in acidity with alcohol levels of 11.5–12.5%. DO Rías Baixas - five distinct sub-regions: Ribeira do Ulla: Inland, newer area Condado do Tea: inland, warmer, drier area, less fruity, earthier Val do Salnés: on the Atlantic coast, northern half of the region, features the most coastline. crisp, aromatic “melony”, salinity, minerality acidity and freshness Soutomaior: Smallest sub-regions O Rosal: Peachier, softer style And thanks to this week's sponsors!

Today Roque and Luke try the country's most popular and highly rated white. Albariño. Let's open a bottle of Marieta, part of the acclaimed Martin Codax family. And nonsense as usual.
Verdejo from Rueda, Spain: An Original I love wines from Spain. For many reasons. They’re often inexpensive yet high quality. When they’re good, they’re fresh, layered, and delicious. And maybe best of all, they’re originals – you don’t see every country growing Spanish grapes. These are one of a kind. The reds are fabulous and what the country is best known for, but the whites are compelling and outstanding too. Albariño from Rias Baixas and the rare white blends of Priorat are particular standouts, but maybe the best white grape of all is Verdejo, a full, creamy, pear and herbal tasting wine with nut and honey notes and enough acid to keep it fresh and lively. This grape -- possibly native to this area, possibly brought by predecessors of the Moors from North Africa --has settled in well and Rueda, located on a 2,300 foot high plain just northeast of Madrid, is where it shines. In this dry, boring looking plain of north-central Spain, soils are rocky and well-drained. The vines struggle and if they weren’t so drought resistant they wouldn’t survive. Rueda’s climate is like that of any mid-western area — continental with hot summers and cold winters. The day to night temperature swings (diurnals) are extreme, and that means that the grapes can gather acidity in the cool nights to offset the ripeness they get from sitting in the hot sun all day. Given the location, weather is erratic. Storms whipping over the Iberian peninsula smack the area and frost, wind, hail, and any number of other natural maladies can maim or kill the crops unexpectedly. And one of those maladies, the killer of all European grapevines in the late 1800s through the early 1900s, the phylloxera root bug, kicked the area in the teeth and put Verdejo at risk of falling into obscurity, if not extinction. After ripping through the area and killing 2/3 of the vines, growers replanted on American grapevine roots (which are resistant to phylloxera, can anchor the plant, and can take a graft from a different grape species with no noticeable flavor difference). But they picked grapes that produced quantity over quality, and Verdejo, a slower grower, got bumped by Sauvignon Blanc and Viura (also used in Cava and white Rioja). Most of the stuff produced from 1922 through the 1970s was Sherry-like wine of variable quality often sold in bulk. Help came from an unlikely source in the 1970s: Marquis de Riscal, a Rioja producer, who decided to bring Verdejo into the spotlight and make dry whites from the grape. The Bodega’s dedication to reviving the grape transformed it. Part of the problem for Verdejo-based wines was that they did seem to oxidize (turn into that sherry-like concoction) quickly. With investment and research, Riscal and other producers found that night harvest, cooler fermentations, and a good dose of sulfur dioxide helps preserve the aromas and freshness of the wines and makes them shine. My opinion: Good call! Named for the green color of its berries (verde), Verdejo is the 5th most planted white grape in Spain and is popular in its mother country. And it’s clear why: The grape is unlike any other. It’s aromatic with its citrus notes and usually a distinctive earthy, underbrush/shrubby smell. It tastes like bay leaves, almonds, and has a slight bitterness and great mouth-cleansing acidity. Despite its crispness, wines of Verdejo have a full, smooth, silky texture that I love. It’s a complex, food friendly white -- great with everything from sheep’s milk cheese to pasta or fish in lemon or lemon cream sauces. The grape’s acidity makes it refreshing for warm weather but the full nature of the wine makes it a great fall and winter white too. Through this praise of the grape, I’ve failed to mention one of the coolest things about Verdejo: you can get great stuff for around US $15. That said, not all Rueda or Verdejo is created equal so let me give you some tips for buying before I sign off. Wines labeled “Rueda” are only required to be 50% Verdejo — the rest is normally Sauvignon Blanc and Viura, a grape usually used for blending in white Rioja and in Cava, as I already mentioned. Wines labeled “Rueda Verdejo” or Rueda Superior are required to be 85% Verdejo, but many are 100% and usually indicate so on the bottle. Rueda Verdejo are the best wines, in my opinion. Look before you buy – the label will usually indicate if the wine is 100% Verdejo and that’s what you need to seek out. Have you had Rueda Verdejo? What do you think?
