Wines To Find, Ep 187: A Sip of Toro's Wine & Culture and How You Can Experience It

Wines: Spanish Palate's Botas de Barro Tinto de Toro and Prieto PicudoDo you ever wonder about the fascinating journey of a grape? How it transforms from a seed into a delicious  glass of wine bursting with flavors and stories? We spent a memorable time with Nicola Thornton of Spanish Palate, who shared her lovely vision of enhancing wine tourism in the Toro region. Imagine waking up in a quaint hut, setting off on a biking, walking or horseback riding adventure, and returning to a communal dining experience - sounds magical, right? Nicola further delighted us with her future plans of providing a rucksack filled with wine and snacks for those adventures and how she aims to empower the local community through this venture.But the charm doesn't stop here. We dive into the passionate world of wine-making, sharing our firsthand experiences of the hard work and love that each glass of wine holds. From the magic of gathering over wine to fun adventures with wine farmers, aka vintners,  there's a story in every sip. We also explore the rich Spanish culture, including the surprising language change brought about by a monarch and the mouth-watering Pekado Mortal wines we tried. Join us as we share our lunch in the vineyard with its stunning view of Toro, discuss the Romanesque architecture of the local church, and the underground cellar of the Bodega Museum. Get ready for an immersive journey through the Toro region that promises to ignite your imagination and passion for wine travel.Stay in the know and join our WTF Cru.About UsBuy us a Mimosa!We have been listed in the Top 50 wine podcasts! https://blog.feedspot.com/wine_podcasts/Music from https://filmmusic.io "Night In Venice" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Thank you for making us part of your wine story.
