WE ARE BACK WITH SEASON 4. And I am going to take you on a three-day trip around Rias Baixas. We will be looking at the food, the regions, the grapes, the vine training methods and the beaches you can visit. I hope this episode will motivate you to go and visit this lusciously green area, and have you reaching for a refreshing bottle of Albariño.

Introducing my sponsor for this season, Wickhams Wine, who aligns so well with me. A small business themselves focusing on top quality wines. With their help, I am going to be able to turn this podcast from a one women band to a team that will be able to help me grow this podcast. Do go and explore their online site to get your hands on some seriously well-chosen wines.
