Catavino: Iberian Wine Wiki - Well Sort of

  • Robert · 1 year ago
    Good idea, but lots of work!


    I happen to know that you will be visiting Dinastia Vivanco on your trip to Rioja. They have 222 varietals (4 plants of each) from across the world planted in the Bacchus Garden in front of the museum. You may need to come back in September and October if you want to take photos of each bunch, but you are more than welcome. Also, these list most known aliases for each plant, so might help with checking against other regions of Spain and the world.



    You might even have a word with the Dinastia Vivanco Foundation as this sounds right up their street as a project to support the spread of wine culture (they could be encouraged to send you the materials above so you don't have to re-type them for a start!)



    Buena suerte y buen trabajo!

    Robert,


    We totally agree with you that this is a long and trying process, but an adventurous one as well. We're absolutely hoping for support and aid from pioneers in the field such as Dinastia Vivanco, Torres and Bodegas Enrique Mendoza who is working with over 2,000 different indigenous vines, not to mention the vast amount of Portuguese wineries! And as mentioned above, we're open to anyone passionate about grapes, willing to fill in the Wiki when you stumble upon the information.



    With that, thanks for your support Robert, and as always, we're open to any all help and suggestions!
