Compiled, written and presented in the same style and format as the authors' Wine Roads of France, this volume covers all the regions of Spain and shows the wine traveller how to enjoy the pleasures of this wine producing country. Based on personal knowledge, of both wine and Spain, and covering the classical regions and the lesser known, it includes practical information, including the addresses of hundreds of wine growers who welcome visitors, local restaurant recommendations, route directions and background features on food, wine growing and points of historical and cultural interest, relevant to each area.
I like wine-hunting. Visiting wineries, talk to farmers, taste (very little, I have to drive) and buy. For good wine-hunting you need a good guide. A guide that tells you where to find the good and not too expensive wines. In France there are excellent guides (in French). Wine hunting in Spain is more difficult than in France so a good guide is even more important. For Spain 'The Wine Roads of Spain' proved to be excellent. It offers a limited number of high quality bodegas with adresses and telephone numbers. Also a lot of text about the region so you can prepare your hunt. I hunted in Ribera del Duero (watch this region!) and Navarra. Spended my last pesetas on a Pesquera Tinto Grand Reserva 1992. Came home with 200 bottles of great wine. Recommended !
