That Capricho white can bought at Eno Wine in the IFSC for €17.50, they’re also serving it by the glass for the next few weeks. Great wine!

Today's Irish times magazine wine piece starts in a similar fashion to this post and also covers this wine. We saw it here first!

This wine sounds great. Although I haven’t tried it yet, I’ll be sure to keep my eye open! Thank you for the suggestion.

Just a sidenote, however, DO Bierzo is technically in the political province of Castilla y León even though many of their vineyards are right on the border of Galicia. Here is a great little map DO Bierzo provides on their website to illustrate the the location of the DO: http://www.crdobierzo.es/images/bodegas/mapabodegas.html.

I’m a great fan of Godello; glad you have discovered it too!

Never tried that DO’s white: I might drop by the shop on the way home!

The best red Bierzo I’ve tried so far (sorry for the Xestal): Petalos
