Another week and another exciting discovery. This time Roque and Luke enjoy a bottle of barrel-fermented Albariño, but not from the usual area. It’s Galicia, but not as we know it. A tiny little Vino de la Tierra hiding in the northern fjords. The wine is Komokabras from Adega Entre Os Rios.
This week the chaps want to step away from focussing on one particular grape or DO wine region for a moment and instead hone in on a theme that has been interesting them a lot recently: the idea of blended (multi-grape) wines ‘vs’ the single variety wine. To talk more about this Roque and Luke…
This week Roque and Luke sample a spicy little number from the Canary Island Tenerife and the mouthful DO Ycoden-Daute-Isora. They get stuck into a bottle of Listán Negro red from Bodegas Viñátigo. As well as island life they also dive into a chat that sounds like a sci fi movie: clones, crosses and hybrids….
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Yes, it’s that time of year again. Dust off your Xmas jumper and grab your turkeys, it’s our festive special. This year Luke brings Roque some surprise weird wine presents in the form of odd boozes and attempts to make a mulled wine. Expect chaos, festive questions and chat about food. Merry Christmas…
This week Roque and Luke head to the depths of the depths, to the border with Portugal and DO Arribes. A spicy and fiery bottle of Abadengo that uses the bizarre Juan Garcia grape as its base. They also talk wine colours and Roque tries to convince Luke with his sangria recipe. Check out our…
Sherry. That famously misunderstood wine; sometimes sweet, sometimes drier than bone dry. Always fortified. But what if a sherry winemaker decided to release a sherry…unfortified? Well that’s what Luke and Roque have this week. A bottle of Socaire from VT Cadiz. ¡Nuevos episodios! / New episodes! Share!
Today Roque and Luke get involved in a Godello from the old Roman of Valdeorras ‘the Valley of Gold’. They opened a bottle of Gaba do Xil from Compañía de Vinos Telmo Rodríguez. They proceed to gabble nonsense as well as attack some listeners’ questions. A cold crisp toast to the incoming winter. Check out…
