Podcast #21 - Angel Aguilar of Sam's Wines and Spirits: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

This week I have an interview with the Iberian wine specialist for Sam’s Wines and Spirits in Chicago, Angel Aguilar. We talk about his start in wine, and some of the directions he sees Iberian wine headed. Along with getting a few recommendations for wines that he likes right now. The best part too is that if your interested in trying out the recommendations you can order online from Sam’s wine shop, that is if your in the USA, and if you are in a state that allows direct shipping. Enjoy!

Some of the wine’s recommended by Angel:

• Luna Beberide Mencia Bierzo 2005
• Dominio de Tares Mencia “Baltos” Bierzo 2004
• Pago Del Oro Toro 2005
• Bodegas Valtravieso “Dominio de Nogara” Ribera del Duero 2005
• Telmo Rodriguez “G Dehesa Gago” Toro 2005
• Xarmant Txakoli Spain 2005
• Sitios de Bodega “Con Class” Rueda 2005
• Lavradores de Feitoria “Tres Bagos” Douro 2003
