Co-host Carlo DeVito joins David to discuss this unique and fun Spanish grape's performance with 4 West Coast vintners--California's Marimar Torres and Ian Brand, Oregon's Greg Jones, Washington's Justin Michaud
Albariño has come a long way in two decades. Unknown beyond its Galician home until the '90s, its fame and farming have spread from Spain's Atlantic Ocean-facing Rias Baixas to the US where it's found homes throughout the west. Its fecundity and deliciousness make for pleasurable production and consumption. Umpqua Valley's Abacela Winery,, Sonoma County's Marimar Torres Estate, and Horse Heaven HIlls' Coyote Canyon Winery have been pioneers with this aromatic variety in their respective states.
