Wines from Ribeira Sacra
One of the regular contributors is from this region. This article appears in today's NY Times about the wines of the region.

Yep read it.... added it to Twitter and FB. Loads of wine makers I know are pleased about this. One wine maker Bodeguero, who I met at a meeting yesterday did not even know they had been written about.
The article say they could only find 17 bottles to sample. I know a lot more export to the US. The writer must try harder. I find the prices way too high for my liking, but I suppose it is about mark up and taxes etc.

The second article accompanied the first on the same page of the newspaper. You cannot get Gallego bread in the US.
I read an article where the Spanish export much of their grapes to France and olive oil to Italy because they can make more money.

The Spanish must do more to inform the world of the quality of their grapes and olive oil.

I have heard of the olive oil facts before. Never purchase Italian Olive Oil!
Grapes did not know that.
It can be understandable as Spain produces a huge of amount of grapes. We cannot drink all the crap as Spain has some great wines. The worse table wine I had was in Madrid. I had to have some Gaseosa to make it drinkable.

Another article this time from an British newspaper...but it is so weak with not so much content.

The local press are reporting that there is an article written by Dr Vino (John Gilman) in his website View from the cellar, has given the Ribeira Sacra wines another excellent write up. However this article is only by subscription.
