Join us this Friday for a mini-tour of Spain and discover the great diversity this country offers. From the mountainous, marginal climate of Rioja or the cool, damp, but beautiful region of Galicia to the high altitude (hot summers, cold winters) vineyards of Castilla and the Mediterranean influenced Jumilla near the southeastern coast. This country that boasts more land under vine than any other also benefits from its diversity of climate as well as the sheer number of native grape varieties. This, coupled with their generally lower costs of production presents tremendous value for the wine lover searching for new discoveries.
