The Story Behind the Wine
Here’s a great post by Ian Abrahams, from the Bristol Wine Blog. As I described some time ago in my post, “Bordeaux, It’s Not a Grape“, Ian highlights one of the major differences between Old World and New World wines; that Old World wines generally carry the name of their region of origin, rather than the grape varietals used. In his post, Ian discusses the Spanish wine, Rioja. I hope you enjoy Ian’s post as much as I did.

Thanks for the Old World v New World clarification. I didn’t know it was that simple!

While there are other differences between the two designations, this is one of the main ones, and possibly the most misunderstood. I am glad Ian and I were able to provide some clarity! Thanks, Mark!
