1 week ago | hudin.com | Miquel Hudin

The wines below were tasted as one of the many excellent presentations during the 1st Mediterranean Wine Symposium. Leading the tasting was Delfí Sanahuja, the head of winemaking for Perelada the winery who also happened to be the instigator and host of the event. The idea here was to showcase the cinc capes or “five layers” of wine in the Mediterranean which were: Climate, Soil, Variety, Territory, and Human Factor.

Events, Features, Spanish Wines by | Don’t ask for the fizzy stuff… This was something of a mistake when I was tasting a selection of 10 wineries from the DO Bizkaiko Txakolina. The ‘fizzy stuff’ is the txakolina that most people may have encountered. That one which is poured from up high by a server into a waiting glass in their other hand.

by | The wines in this accompanying Tasting Report were tasted as part of the larger events in early March for Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas, and Cairanne. They’re being included here as it’s more or less part of the DNA in Southern Rhône to produce wines in neighboring appellations.

by | This most recent visit to Châteauneuf-du-Pape follows along with those for the reports of Gigondas as well as Cairanne, all taking place in one very intense week in early March of this year. This latest Tasting Report of nearly 230 wines blew away the previous report from 2024 and made it clear that when scheduling for next year, I’ll need to allow for more time in the region.

AdegaMãe – Blanc de Blancs 2021

I came for a cocktail, but I drank the bubbly. Finding a proper wine bar in any town with a beach is a wanting proposition. If you go to somewhere like Dubrovnik, I can’t emphasize enough to not drink anywhere inside the Old Town and honestly, get out of the Old Town because it’s Do Not Pass Go Territory. If you’re in say, Alicante on the coast of Valencia, Spain, you’ll find a few options, but nothing terribly great.
