Question of the day: What Spanish wine region do you want me to cover in my next wine video? Answer in the comments below! 👇👇👇👇👇

Barbara Bird

Toro, por favor! I know that Pintia & Numanthia are " up there", but I've recently been pleased (impressed?) with the Hermanos Lurton Tempranillo from Toro region.

Leigh Gridley

What in the world is that accent? I’m getting undertones of Kiwi but also notes of Aussie and flavours of US/Spanish and a dude who’s been about ;)

Paul Nye

Priorat region wines are really really good, could use a Video.

CAREN Gummer

Vineyard tour! Take us to one of Rioja's top vineyards and have a closer look at Tempranillo grapes from soil to bottle :-)

Johnny Snyder

Please do a Montsant/Priorat tasting! Would love that!

Thank you for this great presentation James! I'd love to watch more videos like this one for the not so well known Spanish regions. I've been looking for this kind of content for years (both in English and Spanish) and there's not enough quantity nor quality here in Youtube unfortunately. Me alegro de haber descubierto tu canal. Gracias y ¡salud!

Hi James! I'm so thankful for your explanation! I'm a wine fan of 20+ years and there is so little that I understood about Rioja wine. The video was fun and informative.

My hubby and I are going to Madrid and La Rioja for the beginning of our three week honeymoon (then headed to Croatia for 2 weeks). We look forward to possibly doing one of your food tours in Madrid.

I would love to see videos on the small towns in Rioja.

Hola James. En La Rioja también hay excelentes rosados o claretes, como les llamamos por aquí. En la zona de Alesanco, Cordovín, cerca de Nájera podrás disfrutar de estos maravillosos vinos.

WOW! Thank you James. You just clarified what Rioja wines are all about is a fabulous short video. Thank you for boasting the Tempranillo cultivar, one that the average consumer does not know well(at least here in Canada), but once tasted, they realize the unique beauty and interesting aromas that pour out of this grape and the Rioja region. A well kept secret that needs no hiding.

How do the South American Tempranillo's compare?

Spain Revealed

Thanks for your comment Leslie, and happy you enjoyed the video! Rioja is certainty a fabulous region, and tempranillo a wonderful grape. I haven’t tasted any SA versions - you’ll have to try them and let me know!

What Rioja’s do you see in Canada?

Hi James,
Love your video (watching on a cold, overcast night in Bristol UK - I am, however drinking a Spanish sherry - amontillado :-) ; I don't have a Rioja to hand). You may perceive I'm a fan of your videos and all things Spanish! I'd love to try these wines. You asked about a wine region: how about the wines made on the island of Lanzarote - very unique.
Thanks a lot for your passionately informative videos.
Gracias
Tony

Loved the video I plan to visit Spain mid next year and I’m getting some wine knowledge in before! Would love to see more videos in detail of flavors what would be good to pair and hey maybe even some sangria taste tests. I subscribed and will go through your videos

Love your videos.....my story was all about Rioja and visiting the south of Spain...that was until I discovered Albarino from the Rias Baixas region last summer....the perfect summer white ! More info on this delicious wine please.......and I'd love a little Spanish language thrown in too....that would be a great help for those of us wanting to do a little more than just order 'dos cervezas por favor !!!'

Spain Revealed

Sounds good. Will add to the list!

MY Travel BF

Rioja wine is our absolute favorite! There are so many great ones, but we have an affinity for Rioja since Mike lived there for 2 years! Can't wait to get back to Spain and try some more wine regions!

Spain Revealed

Totally --- a great Rioja is wonderful. Living there would have been amazing!!

Hi James- thanks for fabulous video...Spanish wine is our favourite yet we dont know an awful lot about it- so the more of these videos the better please! The nicest Spanish wine we ever had was from the Ribera del Duero region..in Galicia?..Would love you to try 3 wines from there and educate us!! Thank u!!

Spain Revealed

+Javier Sánchez Thanks for your comments - and you’re right Ribera is the next big region after Rioja!

Javier Sànchez

6y↑1

Interesting question :) The first thing you have to know, is that El Duero is one of the most important rivers in Spain, located in the Northwest. The matter is that this river go through many different regions inside the huge Spanish community of Castilla y León. But in this particular case, Rivera del Duero is attached to a very small part of this route.

The route of the river Duero has created loads of Spanish important wine brands, such as Rueda, Toro, Arribes... The thing is that, even though Rivera del Duero is not very known outside the Spanish borders, nowadays is undoubtedly the strongest competence of Rioja.

James Blick Brilliant- thanks so much! Oops about Galicia! - getting educated already, I love it😀! ¡Salud!

+twinkletoes800 Thank you for the comment. And consider it done! First thing to know is Ribera del Duero isn’t in Galicia - but I’ll save the big reveal for the video! Salud!

Great vid and awesome tips! My favourite wine, like the flamenco aficionada I am, is sherry, of course. I'd love you to do one on this fascinating wine!

Spain Revealed

Consider it done, baby!

Emilian Stefan

Great video. You should do a video about blue wine too. Blue wines seem to be a trend across Europe and most of them seem to come form Spain.

Mike H62

Wow what a great video, my fathers love of Rioja passed on to me and both my grown up sons and their families love the stuff. Wish I was there.

I'd love to see a survey of catalan wines! Greetings from the US

Spain Revealed

Great idea Austin! So many regions there! Will do!

Tim Murphy

I want to explore all the Spanish wine regions, but yeah, you can only drink so much. I was in Malaga in September and tasted some excellent local wines, and even some sweet dessert wines that I liked. So, my suggestion is for you and Yoly to enjoy the beaches and mountains of Malaga Province! And sample your 3 favorites from DO Malaga and DO Sierra de Malaga. Next, how about Murcia? Not well known and what looks like an interesting province. And finally, the stunning next door neighbor to La Rioja: Navarra.

James Beech

Love the video James, can you do wines from the Alicante region?

Andrea Maronn

I am in love w/ garnacha! Can you cover Campo de Borja? 🍷🍷😊

For a future video maybe you could go to Trujillo's feria del queso. If you love cheese, you need to try Torta del Casar (featured in that fair in a lot of its variations because it is typical from Extremadura). Plus, Trujillo is a very beautifull village very close to Cáceres, which is also beautifull :)

James: excellent lesson. Don't know a thing about Spanish wine and willing to learn. In the video you mentioned links as to where to buy the wines discussed but I could not locate them.

Spain Revealed

True Jack, I think I actually took them out. Where do you like? I'll see how I can help.

rio Babic

Tempranillo is like Mali Plavac grape from Croatia it tastes much better each year it is aged ! Years ago my wife opened a bottle of 1992 Kastalet that I was saving for years and it was better than I ever tasted before !

Hi there, excellent videos, to be used during English lessons. Why don´t you make one about albariño, one of the best white wines in the world, according to Parker?

Spain Revealed

Great idea! On the (growing) list!

Joshua Perel

James please make the next video about Toro, I love Ribera del Duero and Rioja, but lately my favorite wines are from Toro.

James do any Rioja’s have a particularly vanilla creaminess. I was in Spain years ago and I had fantastic wine and thought it may have been a Rioja but never really experienced it again.

Jeff Bevan

Ps my taste buds may have been completely mistaken.

The López de Heredia bodega in Haro is amazing, I keep going there and never have enough. Perhaps you can show the bodega in one of your videos? On the other side and the best example of modern bodegas is Campoviejo. Whilst their wines are decent albeit not the best Rioja, the bodega where they are made in Logroño is just stunning. Please check it out and visit it if you have not done it yet. Thanks and congratulations for your you YouTube channel!

eomer1981

@Spain Revealed It is, make sure you visit it. And don't miss Calle Laurel in Logroño, my fave places in Spain for pintxos!

Spain Revealed

5y↑1

I love Logroño! I've been to López de Heredia (would love to make a video), but not Campo Viejo. I've heard it's impressive though.

Daniel Zambrana

James, during a recent trip to Mexico City, I ran into some Spanish Whiskey. Didn't know Spain made whiskey. What can you tell us about that? Video Opportunity? Stay well, Danny in Fl.

Great video James , do you know of any wine tasting in Seville in Jan ??

Very well selected offerings from Rioja but can you please check out the region of less that 20€ a bottle for those of us who are not Morgan Stanley or Lloyds of London brokers ?

Estuche de Peluche

Pues, sí, muy bien, señor, pero hay que ir a España para encontrar un buen Rioja asequible. Aquí en los yunaited esteis, es medio cariñoso, sobre todo para los estudiambres que vivimos al día.

Not such a fan of modern, over-extracted wines and those with way too much new oak -- love LdH, of course! -- so would be more interested in any Spanish wine region which could be described as traditional or evocative of a sense of place. Know Spain makes a ton of wine in a modern style so not too sure what else would fit this bill there beyond Rioja. You should definitely do sherry. Maybe cava, txakoli and Basque and Asturian sidra.

Spain Revealed

+mrickling they’re famous for their whites up there, but the reds are really going to be a big deal in the coming years. Will cover north-west (including godello) soon!

mrickling

Thanks James! Know next to nothing about the wines of Galicia and would love to know more. FYI the NYT wine writer Eric Asimov has written recently about Godello, but I've never had it. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/31/dining/wine-school-godello-spain.html

Thanks for your comment! Lots of great Spanish wine that shows a sense of place. I'm starting to think of wines from the north-west... which are really a region to watch.

James, sabiendo que hablas buen español, me permito escribirte este comentario en mi idioma, pues es más fácil para mí:
"Rioja" es, como bien sabes, una DO: la más conocida... y probablemente también la más sobrevalorada de todo el país. Y es que hay cantidad de vinos en España que saben tan bien o MEJOR que un "Rioja" (que garantiza nada, más que la DO más popular) por una fracción del precio.
Y en ese aspecto, yo te recomendaría encarecidamente que probaras (si es que no lo has hecho ya) la DO "Cariñena" (de Zaragoza), que en mi opinión, tiene una relación calidad/precio INVARIABLEMENTE superior a lo que vas a encontrar en un "Rioja" de similar precio, por no decir formalmente superior... ;)
Un saludo!

Spain Revealed

Muchas gracias. He probado los vinos de ese DO y me encantan. Ojalá pudiese hacer un vídeo sobre cada DO!

Done and done. And cava is a really fascinating "region" (if you can call it that), given it's all over the country. Plus the sparkling wine makers in Penedès are now making sparkling wine under a quality label called Clàssic Penedès, to distance itself from cava. Lots of things are afoot!
