Your article is the first piece I have read in a long time that captures how wine is deeply rooted in our European lifestyles. I miss that now that I live in the States. Logroño looks like a fun place to visit. Thanks for that.
Life is too short to drink bad wine. But who is to say what is bad wine? We all have different palates and how many of us are really going to be able to taste the tobacco, the apricot, etc.
if you drink enough wine you’ll know what you like and what tastes good to you. It doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
If you enjoy it and know how to care for it ( how to open the bottle, how to store the bottle etc) you don’t have to know much more unless you want to.
I, too, love Logroño. I walked through a couple years ago on the Camino de Santiago and last year I spent 10 days on a more intensive visit to the region. Of course, I was in the Calle Laurel and the Calle San Juan many times and enjoyed the food, the wine and the company that was always only a smile away.
Although the entire atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, I might note that there is a certain standard. Every bar had one or more wine refrigerators - for both white and red - and the selection almost without exception excellent. A good place for wine geeks to relax.
Thanks for this. Wine is meant to be enjoyed. That’s what I tell customers at the wine shop I work at.
Yes! Thank you!

There is a certain standard, you're right. Even a modest 2 euro glass of wine is served correctly.
Yes to all of this. And Logroño is such a perfect example of when wine can be something simply fun and joyful.
You know it!
Thank you. That is all. So needed, especially in this time.
