The Wines of Galicia

If you tell the story of Galician wine, it goes something like this: once upon a time, there was a magical place tucked away in a corner of northwest Spain. It had everything you could ever want: towering mountains and fertile valleys, oceans and forests teeming with life, a noble and generous people, and wine that once adorned the tables of kings.

Sounds good, right? This isn’t a fairytale, this is real. We’re not in sangria, siesta, fiesta Spain. Instead of flamenco and paella, think bagpipes, fog, and brooding sailors. Think of octopus, eating until you burst, and wines that could only come from this place.

I’ve traveled all over Galicia, researching the story of wine in this corner of northern Spain. The result of this journey is laid out on winesofgalicia.com, and it's ongoing here on YouTube. Whether you’re a wine professional or simply a wine lover, there’s something here for you. Pour yourself a glass of something gallego and take a look around.

Saúde!
