I love Bierzo wines! A favorite of mine is Palacio de Canedo – Maceración. I also enjoy Cuatro Pasos as mentioned below! As a Spanish teacher just sharing a pronunciation point: Bierzo is pronounced “Bee air so” (or “Bee air tho” with Castillian accent).

Thanks for the interesting and always entertaining episodes!

  • GARY, I thought you were going to do a blind tasting again today. Hmmm…
    Maybe I was mistaken.

    I’ll watch this episode later this evening.

    Cheers!

    1) Green pepper, onion and pineapple for a casual pizza.

    2) Chicken, carmelized onion and gouda for a more “gourmet” event.

    From “wineloverspage.com”: PRONUNCIATION:
    Mencia = “Mehn-cee-ah” (or “Mehn-thee-ah” in Castilian Spanish)
    Bierzo = “B’yehr-zoe”

    I also thought this pronunciation above was right. Gary, do you have the pronunciations flipflopped?

    I can’t remember ever having a wine from Bierzo so I look forward to trying the next one I see and I thank you for putting the idea into my head.
    Just one more thing: Madeira (see my other comments i.e. yesterday’s)
