📰The New York Times columnist Eric Asimov featured Isabella over the weekend! “Such a fun wine, made of the Isabella grape, a hybrid brought to the Azores after phylloxera struck the vineyards. It’s juicy, savory and fresh, and also not allowed on the label, hence the ‘cross out.” ✨Here’s some more detail directly from winemaker Antonio Maçanita from Azores Wine Company: “Isabella is one of the saviors of the European wine industry after Phylloxera hit in the late 19th century. The spread all over Europe lead to its ban in France in 1930’s and all of Europe by 1995. The Azores islands is its final place of resistance, in the ‘old continent’. In the Azores, Isabella has stayed in a legal limbo, where growers can produce but can’t sell the wine, or can sell locally, or can’t sell in Europe, no one actually knows!! Old vines, some older then 150 years, can be found in almost all of the 9 islands. The wine is locally called ‘vinho de cheiro’ (wine of perfume) and is present in every tavern, in local recipes, and obligatory in the Christian festivities. The @azoreswinecompany and other local producers face very real legal action from authorities for selling it, but we are convinced that we should keep pushing forward against this absurd 21st century European prohibition. What amazing symbolism of the Azores as its place of resistance in Europe, right in between the continents that gave it origin: the European (Vitis Vinifera) and American (Vitis Lambrusca). Cheers. Long live Isabella!!” 🌟Interested in trying Isabella? DM us and we will connect you to a local retailer! 🌟If you're a fan of this wine, share some love in the comments! @nytimes @ericasimov @antonio_macanita @azoreswinecompany #portuguesewine #azores #redwine #newyorktimes #winesofportugal #wine #wineoftheweek

❄️ #tbt to the recent snows in Yecla … swipe left for summer! 🤔Did you know that Señorio de Barahonda is the oldest winery in DO Yecla? The Candela family established the bodega in 1925, but this area (near Murcia, on the southeastern coast) is one of Spain’s oldest winemaking regions, with roots that go back to at least the 6th Century AD. 🧑🌾Winemakers Araceli Gonzalez Martinez and Augustin Carrion know how to harness the extreme weather in this high desert plateau, and really show off the potential of local grape Monastrell in their wines. Barahonda Barrica and Carro Tinto are two we import into the US, and made with Barahonda’s organically grown, old vine estate fruit. 💡Do you want to try something new from a spectacular and historic region? DM us and we will connect you with a retailer. 📸: @barahonda_es #barahonda #yecla #monastrell #syrah #redwine #winery #vineyard #winemaker #wine #spanishwine

🌿#ThrowbackThursday to visits with the dynamic duo: Joseba and Urtzi Lazkano, fourth generation grower-winemakers on the Gaintza estate! As any visitor will assure you, the Lazkano brothers produce Txakoli wines that reflect their maritime terroir, and smell like the salty air in the vineyards, perched up on seaside cliffs. We fondly remember lunches sipping their white and rosé txakoli, eating homecooked Basque meals of “chuletón” and cod omelet, and gazing down at the fishing village of Getaria. ⛰Fun fact: the word Gaintza means “high above” or “on top of” in the Basque language, Euskera. Established in 1923, Gaintza remains one of the region’s most popular local wineries, with some of the oldest vines. Gaintza is located in DO Getariako Txakolina, a subzone on the Cantabrian coast. This area is home to some of the best seafood in the world and boasts the foodie heaven city of San Sebastián, which has more Michelin stars per square mile than anywhere on earth. No wonder Gaintza’s wines are so gastronomic! 👇Comment below if you have been to Gaintza with us! 1-3📸: @friederikepaetzold 4 📸: @winepictures #gaintza #gaintzatxakolina #txacoli #txacolina #wine #winepassport #winetravel #tbt #travel #basquecountry #spain #spanishwine #bringyourboots #winephotography

🏈Who’s ready for Big Game Sunday? 🍷Whether you're rooting for the Chiefs or the Buccaneers, we can all agree that plenty of snacks, treats and wine will be in sight! 🍔La Nevera Tinto’s fresh, juicy character makes this an extremely versatile wine to pair with all types of food. Perfect to drink on its own, while cooking or on the couch watching football. 🍇This fun, delicious wine is produced from sustainably grown grapes in central northern Spain. La Nevera comes in a 3L box-wine format and the advantages of box wine are many! Savings of glass, corks, etc. but the greatest advantage is the fact that once you open the box the wine does not go bad and stays in perfect form for month when stored properly... but we doubt it would last that long at home 😉 👉DM us if you interested in purchasing a box and we will connect you with a local retailer before game day! #superbowl #superbowl2021 #wings #foodie #redwine #boxedwine #spanishwine #winesfromspain #wine #happyhour #gameday

❄️Cold weather alert! Time to spice up your winter drinking. 💃🏻Begonia Sangria is made from a generations-old family recipe: a blend of estate-grown fruit from rugged vineyards in central Spain, spring water from the underground aquifer on the estate, Mediterranean cinnamon and Valencian citrus grown less than an hour from the winery. Begonia is slow-crafted but ready to enjoy at a moment’s notice. See below for our favorite way to enjoy Begonia in cold weather! 💥Cinnamon Spice Sangria • 1 liter bottle Begonia Red Sangria • 5 cinnamon sticks • 6 whole cloves • Zest of 1 orange (or thin ribbons of peel, pith removed) ✨Optional for extra sweetness: 1 spoonful honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar (we used a small spoon of honey, which gave a nice satisfying richness). 💥To Prepare Combine all ingredients together in a soup pan or crock pot over low-medium heat, and gradually warm to a low simmer. Do not allow to boil. Reduce heat to lowest setting for at least 1 hour, so that flavors can blend (also a great aroma for your home!). Ladle spiced Sangria into mugs, garnish, and enjoy…then refill (it’s only 6%!). ✨Optional Garnishes: orange twist, pomegranate seeds, cinnamon sticks, or anything you fancy. ✨Optional additions: apple cider, brandy, splash of Port or rum! 📩DM us if you are interested in purchasing Begonia! #begonia #sangria #mulledwine #warmcocktails #warmup #warmdrink #cocktails #sangriarecipe #wintercocktails #spanishwine

#ThrowbackThursday to a ☀️ day in Ribera del Duero with owner-winemaker Juan Carlos Vizcarra. 👨👩👧👧In 1991, Juan Carlos took over his family vineyards and started a “garage” winery in their tiny cellar. As anyone who visits the Vizcarra estate knows, Juan Carlos’ true passion is to be a part of every step of the winemaking process, from his organically farmed vineyards to every last bottle. He has passed this trait on to daughters Celia and Ines, who join him in the winemaking and will continue the family business! 🥾We’re looking forward to wine travel together in the future. Don’t forget to #BringYourBoots! 🍷What is your favorite Vizcarra wine?

🗺Let’s pull out our maps and dive into the Atlantic because @drummelier and @antonio_macanita are going to host a lively discussion about @azoreswinecompany located in Pico, Azores Islands, Portugal! ⏰Tune in Tuesday, January 26th at 4pm EST on either of their Instagram accounts to learn all about this singular place. 🌱We won’t give too many spoilers, but did you know that the Azores archipelago has been home to winemaking since the 15th century? As seen in these photos, the vineyards are grown in tiny plots (2-6 bush trained vines per square) protected on all sides by small walls called “currais” to ward off the strong winds and salt that blow in from the ocean. If you love volcanic wines, be sure to tune in and explore with Bruno and Antonio! 👨🏻🌾Antonio Maçanita, whose heritage is directly tied to the Azores, has been a force of rejuvenation and rediscovery in these islands. Thanks to his efforts, this UNESCO heritage site is being re-established as a prestige wine-growing region in Europe! 👉Learn more tomorrow about Antonio Macanita’s wines in the Azores! You can see the full list of wines we import on our website. ✨DM us if you are interested in purchasing any of these wines! #wine #portuguesewine #volcanic #volcanicwine #portugal #winesofportugal #pico #winetasting #winepictures #winenews #winetips #instagramlive #instalive
