Hi! Thank you for your videos! :) Try Vinha da Bouça Alvarinho from the Vinho Verde Region in Portugal (producer: Quinta do Ermizio)! www.ermizio.pt/index.php/os-vinhos/vinha-da-bouca/?lang=pt Cheers!

Hi, I have just recently discovered this grape and, like yourself, I love it. Have had three Alvarinhos from the Vinhos Verdes Monção and Melgaço sub-region, at the North-Eastern tip of Portugal, which is the grape home turf: 2019 and 2020 Quinta da Lixa QL Escolha Alvarinho, and 2016 Quintas de Melgaço QM Alvarinho. Both are good, but I prefer the former.
I work for Maple Springs Vineyard in Bectelsville, PA and we grow Albarino. As a matter of fact, we won "Best White Wine in PA" for our 2017 Albarino in a compittion held in Philadelphia. It continues to be one of our most requested and most sold! I love it!

Thanks for watching. 🍷Cheers.
My friend Rae Wilson makes wine from Texas-grown Albarino and it's nice. Not quite as aromatic or showy, but a solid wine nonetheless. The name of her co-op is 'The Grower Project' if you ever end up in this part of the world. They make very nice wine.

Had a Paco and Lola abarino last night in an Italy VS The World blind tasting. The Albarino won the night!

Here in Washington State we are producing some excellent albarino wines. My favorite is from Palencia winery. His albarino is so good, we buy that one by the case.
Wine is amazing. Thousands of grapes grown all over the world to produce tons of styles for everyone to enjoy. Love learning about wine. I have had a California Alberanio but a Spanish one sounds amazing. I think the California was from Shafer.

Californian Albariño doesn’t compare sadly to Rías Baixas and Vinho Verde ones. The climate is so different.

I want to try this as I love Sauv Blanc and think it might be similar. I'm wondering if it is easy to find in a supermarket.

Thankyou. A lot of the wines I get in the UK are from The Wine Society. They have a really great selection and the organisation has a fantastic reputation.
