http://blip.tv/file/get/Culinarymedia-QuickBitesRiasBaixasSantiagoDeCompostela124.mp4Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed This summer I was invited by Wines from Spain and the Rias Baixas wine region to explore their viniferous offerings. I came away from the trip with a lot of new thoughts on white wines, as they hadn’t held much excitement for me — until I discovered why. A big part of enjoying wine comes from finding out what you like, the reasons you like it, and building from the flavor notes that attract your senses, so much was revealed to me in the span of this tour.

Pennsylvania’s Brandywine Valley Wine Trail
Last week I was invited on a little adventure to explore the Brandywine Valley Wine Trail in Chester County, PA, about 45 minutes outside of Philadelphia. At first I was surprised — I was not aware there was a wine trail in Pennsylvania. Infinitely curious and not sure what to expect, I set off with an open mind. I’m glad I did, as this picturesque region has a lot to offer the food & wine explorer. With its 8 vineyards, the 50-mile trail is easy enough to visit over the course of a weekend, though there are other distractions that…
The Wines of Rias Baixas
I am off on another exciting food and wine adventure, this time for my first visit to Spain! Interestingly, I’m visiting what some might consider to be the most atypical region of the country, Galicia, to explore the wines of Rias Baixas. When one thinks of Spain, one immediately thinks of red wine and paella; however, Rias Baixas is most well-known for its signature grape, Albariño (al-ba-REEN-yo).

Yes, the Glass Shape Does Matter!
Chef Mark and I were invited to a tasting yesterday with Maximilian Riedel at Riedel’s showroom in NYC. We had heard from some colleagues that this would be a fun experience, but we had no idea what was in store for us. Prior to this interactive workshop, I had heard that wine glass shape made a difference, but I was dubious — was this simply another note of wine snobbery in an industry already rife with posturing? Imagine my surprise. A true showman, Maximilian is a CEO with true passion for his product, and it shows in every vessel Riedel…
