WINE: The Long & The Short of It - Season 2 Episode 11 - Exploring Rías Baixas

We discover and explore why the wines of Rías Baixas region in Galicia also known as Green Spain are so popular!

We discuss the king of the region, the Albariño grape, how it is grown, and harvested, and the various wine-making techniques.

We chat about the history of the region, and how successful it has become in the export market. We are joined by a special guest

Blanca Valencia, is a Spanish cook, author, and co-host of Spice Bags Podcast. Blanca joins us to talk about the gastronomy of

the region and we taste some delicious wines from the region. We understand how Albariño has become so appealing and excites

customers that discover it. We hope you enjoy hearing about and learning more about this region and let us know if you have tried

any Albariño wine from Rías Baixas.
