EXPLORE THE WINE BLOG
Wine is a fascinating subject that often draws attention. Some love it; some don't care about it; I live it as a centerpiece of my life. Wine and spirits it have been an essential part of my life for 50 years. So follow my journey, and we will share our vinous exploration.
Albariño, An Alternative White Wine
Albariño from Galicia, Spain (or Alvarinho, as it is called in Portugal) is an excellent food-paring wine. When I discovered the grape variety over 40 years ago, I immediately knew it was a wine I could serve often. Yet, with so many other wines in the mix, I sometimes went away from it, favoring the more well-known grape varieties (Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio). As I transition from retail to full-time wine research, tasting, and writing, I can give more attention to the entire field of wine.
