Summary

You asked for it and we delivered! Per the request of many listeners, we revisit Spain in this episode.

I've said it before and I'll say it again -- you don't have to look hard to find values from Spain. But beyond Rioja and Ribera del Duero, where you should look for great red wines that won't break the bank? Some of the best red wines are from regions you may not know. In this episode we talk about:

Toro
Calatayud
Navarra
Bierzo
Jumilla/Yecla and
Montsant

These are some of the best red wine values in the world! Enjoy and let us know what you think!
