Spain and Portugal for Visitors

Albariño, un vino blanco de calidad producido bajo la Denominacion de Origen Rias Baixas en Galicia, España. Informacion sobre los vinos albarino, turismo, gastronomia y playas.

Winery in the Ribera del Duero region.

The cava denominación de origen which produces Spain's champagne-method sparkling wine is unusual in that its production area, though concentrated in Catalonia, extends to other regions such as La Rioja, Valencia and Aragón. There is even a cava-making area in the Extremadura province of Badajoz on the other side of the country. Ninety-five percent of cava is made in the Penedès region in the south of the province of Barcelona, though.

Portal dedicated to Portuguese wine. Its main headings are drinking, travelling, learning, winemaking, trading, community, news, and resources. The most entertaining sections are found under Drinking, including a light-hearted Flash search engine, or a quiz-type "Find Your Wine" (mine was Madeira, not a bad guess).

Online version of a glossy wine magazine (you know I don't mean a magazine about glossy wine), presided by Spanish wine guru Carlos Delgado.

Annual trade fair held around towards the end of November or thereabouts in Madrid.
