I’ve been dreading this article!
I started this ‘name and praise’ tradition several years ago. Reader interest and indeed bodega interest has gathered pace over the years, leaving me in an unnerving invidious position. I have to keep the Top Ten Wines tasted for Cork Talk during 2015, to exactly that – just ten.
Each year the task becomes more difficult and more intense. I’m talking serious wine stress here! The ‘problem’, as Cork Talk readers will know only too well, is that the standard of Spanish wines is excellent, with many taking their rightful place on the podiums of International Wine Competitions – comparable with the world’s best wines!
And I have to choose just ten! Inevitably some truly excellent wines will have to be left out! Wine woe, is me!
