As most of you might not have known, myself included, Aug. 1 was International Albariño Day. Oddly enough, I had decided to write about Albariño (“alba-reen-yo”) before learning the varietal is celebrated in Spain on that day.
My reason for choosing this grape goes back to my old wine-blogging days when I paired characteristics of wines and grapes with the personalities of people. Instead of using typical wine descriptors, I would bring the wine to life in the form of a person.
