Page: Feed: --- ## [Marqués de Riscal, Rueda, Spain](https://www.hudin.com/marques-de-riscal-rueda-spain/) _2026-07-31 · Miquel Hudin · Hudin.com_ These came up as something of a suprise when tasting at Marqués de Riscal for the most-recent Rioja Report. Admittedly it wasn’t a surprise that a Rioja winery produced wines in DO Rueda as seemingly everyone with the least bit of presence in Rioja or Ribera del Duero has a project or outright winery in Rueda. It was more the fact that they were exceedingly engaging. While the younger of the two… ## [The wines of DOQ Priorat & DO Montsant 2026](https://www.hudin.com/the-wines-of-doq-priorat-do-montsant-2026/) _2026-07-30 · Miquel Hudin · Hudin.com_ With what appears to be the earliest harvest on record just about everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s time to take a look at two of the leading regions in Spain, DOQ Priorat and DO Montsant as well as their well as their respective Tasting Reports here and here. I won’t mince words as it’s a rather crucial time in their evolution as regions. It’s not unfair to say that things aren’t easy… ## [DOQ Priorat 2026](https://www.hudin.com/reports/doq-priorat-2026/) _2026-07-30 · Miquel Hudin · Hudin.com_ All of these wines were tasted in the Priorat region during the month of July, 2026.

Naples, Sorrento, and Pompeii are cities and sites which always pop up and are definitely worth a visit. I’d even posit that Naples, either in spite of or due to its innate chaos, is one of the few places in Italy that I still truly love. Continuing down one’s… ## [Making Irpinia, home](https://www.hudin.com/making-irpinia-home/) _2026-07-28 · Miquel Hudin · Hudin.com_ If one searches for the highlights to visit in Campania, Italy, you’ll note a running similarity: they’re essentially all on the coast.

The Pagos are basically a monopole in that they’re a Protected Denomination of Origin (PDO) under EU law, but they’re not a Denomination of Origin as they’re owned by a single owner and don’t have a governing council like… ## [Cellers de Scala Dei – Pla dels Àngels 2025](https://www.hudin.com/cellers-de-scala-dei-pla-dels-angels-2025/) _2026-07-21 · Miquel Hudin · Hudin.com_ It’s nothing new to say that rosé has come a long way in a short time. Well, maybe it’s more the case that we should say Provençal rosé has come a long way to be basically ‘the’ rosé. I remember attending Vinisud back in 2014 when it was still going strong and, after meeting Verónica Ortega for the first time and tasting her nascent DO Bierzo wines, I strolled over to the Provence section. I swear… ## [Ship software peacefully (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/WcPIfA19phuP) _2026-07-21 · **Sponsored**_ Deploy apps from your repo with auto-config, instant previews, scaling, and monitoring. ## [Bodegas Buezo, Arlanza, Spain](https://www.hudin.com/dominio-de-buezo-arlanza-spain/) _2026-07-17 · Miquel Hudin · Hudin.com_ The winery of Buezo is in the rather overlooked DO arlanza region which sits just to the north of Ribera del Duero, yet yields quite different wines and only holds about two dozen wineries. Here we have the ‘current’ release which is from 2009 as the project looks to build upon a long heritage of aging. That said, this release is still quite fresh and elevated despite such long aging and is a fine… ## [The wines of Rioja 2026](https://www.hudin.com/the-wines-of-rioja-2026/) _2026-07-16 · Miquel Hudin · Hudin.com_ The Rioja wine region is a mighty, impressive ship. It seems to have the ability to weather most any storm. But, despite its might, will the current downward trends in wine drinking, especially reds, prove too much to handle? That remains to be seen, but via the current Tasting Report and a week spent in the region in June, a vast number of changes are happening to keep the ship afloat as well as… ## [The wines of Rioja 2026](https://www.hudin.com/the-wines-of-rioja-2026/) _2026-07-16 · Miquel Hudin · Hudin.com_ The Rioja wine region is a mighty, impressive ship.
