Catavino: Latest Iberian Wine Update

  • Jack · 2 years ago
    Hmmm... I think if you were to poll top Spanish winemakers, by far the #1 story would be the excellent scores just received by Spanish wines in the new Wine Advocate by new writer Jay Miller. (To me, this is the Spanish wine story of the year, not just the week, ...and it's just days old.)


    With five Spanish wines scoring, for the first time, 100 pts in the Wine Advocate, this elevates Spanish wines in the eyes of those who were ignorant of their quality.



    The new Wine Advocate also has 305(!) dry Portugese wines reviewed by Mark Squires, with Quinta do Crasto being recognized as the top winery.

    Oh boy, as if the dollar / euro exchange rate isn't inflating the price of good Spanish wine, just wait for the ripple effects of the article mentioned above. Ryan, how about an Iberian "Best Value" section in the future?
