Rias Baixas: Val do Salnes

from Culinary Media Network on November 19, 2009
Duration: 61

My tasting tour of Rias Baixas led to a wonderful discovery: The female winemakers in this region have made an indelible impression upon the quality of the wines and the respect Albari�o grapes have earned internationally. I spent an afternoon at Pazo de Se�oráns with Marisol Bueno, one of the founders of the Albari�o D.O., along with her daughter Vicky and their team to learn the history behind the creation of the appellation. Like many of the smaller wine regions around the world, Marisol wanted to showcase the grapes inherent to Rias Baixas, taking advantage of the terroir of Galicia and its unique qualities to craft what has become one of my favorite wines. Winemakers often become philosophical about the struggle of the grapes and how it lends character to their flavor profile. In Galicia the grapes do indeed face difficult conditions, as the climate is consistently moist, presenting the ever-present danger of mildew. Albari�o grapes must be coaxed to grow in a manner that enables sunlight to penetrate the vines and keep them dry, which winery manager Javier Izurieta Romero explains in detail in the following video. Note: This wine tour was sponsored by Wines from Spain and the Rias Baixas wine region.

Rias Baixas: Santiago de Compostela

from Culinary Media Network on October 12, 2009
Duration: 61

This summer I was invited by Wines from Spain and the Rias Baixas wine region to explore their viniferous offerings. I came away from the trip with a lot of new thoughts on white wines, as they hadn t held much excitement for me until I discovered why. A big part of enjoying wine comes from finding out what you like, the reasons you like it, and building from the flavor notes that attract your senses, so much was revealed to me in the span of this tour. With 3 winery visits a day for the better part of a week, I really got to know the nuances of Albarino grapes and Rias Baixas winemaking, so I now feel more empowered and knowledgeable in my search for the flavors that awaken my palate. I hope my findings will help you to discover the sparks that awaken your own. During my trip I toured the 4 sub-regions of Rias Baixas exploring both large and small winemakers, including Pazo de Se�oráns, the winery of the D.O. s founder, Marisol Bueno. The region is known for the fortitude of its female winemakers, which I have to admit, made me smile. I ll be releasing a series of videos and stories about the region, but for now here s a little taste of my arrival in Santiago de Compostela, a site of pilgrimage for many Catholics. You might hear a sound that is quite unexpected coming from Spain. (Please pardon the video quality been working out bugs with the conversions.) A production of the Culinary Media Network (www.culinarymedianetwork.com). Full disclosure: Travel and accommodations for this trip were provided by Wines from Spain. Any opinions expressed, however, are my own.

http://www.AmericanaVOD.com The Mardi Gras Experience puts "YOU" behind the camera as beads, partying, and nudity ensue in New Orleans. This is no typical tame travelogue about Mardi Gras. Anthony Bourdain host of No Reservations would be proud. This is a full-on unabashed pleasure trip of sight and sound. Test yourself by spotting the drunk guy in this video. A movie on demand ideal for viewing on mobile devices, computers, and video game consoles.
