SUMMARY:Spain's Hidden Playground of Wine\, at Little Washington Winery
DESCRIPTION:Spain is a hot\, dry\, mountainous country with more vineyard land than any other nation on earth. It could be argued that Spain is a viticultural miracle. After years on the sidelines of the world of fine wine\, it is now a major player that we’ve got to learn more about. \nIf you were\, say\, mapping out which wine regions to visit on a vacation to Spain … Even some Spaniards wouldn’t know where to begin. Well\, here’s a secret: No matter where you are on the Iberian Peninsula\, you’re never far from a vineyard—so don’t overthink it. Barcelona is a commuter train away from the historic cava houses of Penedès. Bierzo\, the region wine geeks can’t stop fawning over\, is a pleasant\, quiet drive from León. And the “Sherry Triangle\,” though it sounds a tad foreboding\, can be explored on a painless day-trip from Seville. Whether you’re a casual wine drinker or a seasoned sommelier\, we’ll taste our way through how to weave some vineyard-hopping into your Spanish vacation.

SUMMARY:Aromas of Wine\, at Little Washington Winery
DESCRIPTION:Can you describe the fragrance of a fresh peach without saying that it smells “like” something else? Wine is a poetic drink. A complex glass of wine can have a dozen aromas and flavors waiting to be discovered. As wine is exposed to air it evolves and new aromas and flavors reveal themselves. Each varietal has characteristic flavors and aromas: Chardonnay’s buttery citrus aroma\, Viognier’s floral nose\, a French Burgundy “barnyardy fragrance”\, Gewürtztraminer’s kerosene\, Zinfandel’s pepper and spice\, or Cabernet’s chocolate and red berry fruit. Start making greater use of your nose and\, I promise\, you will discover a whole different world of wine! Follow me with a glass in hand\, as we explore the pleasures of using our olfactory system – especially as it pertains to wine!
