At a recent wine tasting I was more than a bit turned off by a fellow attendee who did not seem to know a technical detail she would not like to mention.
Have we forgotten that good food and good wine is supposed to be fun, pleasurable not a doctoral pursuit?
Simon Woods of Drinking Outside the Box ('Wine for people who have a life) understands that and takes the snob out of the wine.
He also has the good taste to reference 'New Order' (one of my favorite bands) in his latest ditty Everything's gone green – the whites (and reds) of Galicia (July 16).
Makes me wonder why I have not mentioned Rías Baixas (old map above from region's site) and the lovely whites from the area, Albariños, not to forget the Celtic connection.
I have to correct that and share my tasting notes on Adega Eidos for example.
Cheers Simon!
