I thought I'd post this, in honor of frequent contributor Ribeirasacra. From this week's food section of the NYTimes:

Thanks for the heads up on that.
It is always good to read that the wine from this area is appreciated as far as the US, whilst it is not really appreciated here in Spain.
I know most of the wine makers written about in the following article. As they have won top prizes for their wines in this cata I do hope they will now get some recognition for their hard work. Or I will have to keep it all a secret for myself.

Forgot to say at 75USD per bottle would it not be cheaper to fly to Galicia and find a better wine?

Absolutamente!

I've only had a small peek at Galicia, on visits to Santiago and the drive from there to Viveiro. I was enchanted and hopefully, in the not-too-distant future, I will return for a much more detailed visit. Maybe next year (??)

Hopefully I can find you something to do then .-)
