I think that area of the Iberian Penesula (Galicia in Spain and the Vinho Verde region of Portugal) is becoming very popular with wine drinkers for the fresh, clean, and delicious wines being produced there. As you know, many of the varieties share both Spanish and Portuguese soil, so it's interesting to taste the difference between the wines depending on what country and region they are coming from. Either way, they are all wonderful wines and more often than not, incredible values as well. With spring and summer just around the corner, I expect to see quite a jump in consumption of the white wines coming from the northwest pocket of Iberia. Save a few bottles for me, will you? ;) Cheers, Michael Thanks for the comment Vitor!

It seems that the Spanish wines are very well considered in the US, and we cant ignore the great effort of the Spanish government to spread the word. I have to confess that I´m a little jealous because I consider that in Portugal we have to push things in order to have also this kind of help from the official organizations. I just arrived from an international fair here in Portugal, the SISAB, and I was very surprised with so many people looking for Vinho Verde! I was at the booth of Quinta de Gomariz, and people from East and Northern countries were amazed with the quality and unique expression of these wines, especially the Quinta de Gomariz wines! So, the quality is there, and we "only" have to spread more the word on our wines and hope that the world will see them as a good alternative to other wines from all over the world. At Vinixá we are making our part, and PR Grisley is making a great job also! So lets put everyone drinking Portuguese wine, shall we?! Cheers Vítor Michael!
