X Marks the Spot: Exploring Rías Baixas Albariño Wines

Doug Frost, wine expert and author, hosts this three-part series about Albariño wines from Spain.

 

 

July 2007 (Medialink) -- This three-part series hosted by wine expert and author Doug Frost not only teaches viewers about Albariño, viewed as the "darling" white wine of American sommeliers, but also begs the ultimate question—how do you actually pronounce Rías Baixas?

In the first of the three segments, "Albariño – Follow that Grape from Spain to the States" Frost explores the history of the Rías Baixas region while conveying the personality of these fresh and fruity wines. In "X Marks the Spot - Where to find Albariño wines," the series winds its way through Manhattan’s popular wine shops.

Otis, the Bottlerocket dog, guides viewers on their search to find Rías Baixas Albariño in this urban jungle. The series culminates with "Albariño - Exceptional with Everything or Nothing," which demonstrates the versatility and food-friendliness of this cool white wine. Woven throughout a compact exploration of this Spanish grape are interviews with Rías Baixas producers and local wine experts.
