The perfect pilgrim wine! : No vino; no Camino.

[alexwalker]

This evening we tested what turned out to be a perfect wine for tomorrow's moose steak/grouse Christmas dinner: A Bierzo red wine with a lot of Spanish temper and taste: The Pilgrim!





The aluminum cap and the cork contain the shell, and the wine itself is a very tasty Bierzo red wine. I never knew. It says on the bottle: "This wine is the pilgrim's reward when they fall in love with El Bierzo through Camino de Santiago Way"

Indeed: This is a strong reminder of the quality of the Bierzo grape, at 14%...

Do they really have moose steaks in Cacabelos somewhere or were you at home in Norway? Merry Christmas, Alexwalker!

Never saw Pilgrim wine but this pilgrim loves the Bierzo grape, one of my favorite reds, often better than by the glass Rioja, more character than Navarro though often very local. Merry Christmas!

Our bicigrino told us this morning after breakfast when we were urging him to take additional food with him today since most everything will be closed told us, "Queso y vino para el Camino."

Have a very Merry Christmas Alexwalker and all others here and around the world.

Alberto (he gave me permission to use his name) must have liberally changed the old saying. Thanks for giving me the original saying.

What a great name for the wine.........

 

[Ribeirasacra]

Please, it is not Bierzo grape. It is Mencía. Grown only in around three regions world wide. Light and fruity great to just for a slip or a bottle! Yes with a meal too. serve slightly chilled.

Another possibility ....?

I was in Cantabria in September on the Norte. Being familiar with the south of Spain, I asked tentatively for Manzanilla - a type of sherry usually difficult to find north of Seville. To my surprise, the dueno was able to provide us with some, but told us that the local tipple is Blanco. So after that, we ordered blanco everywhere we stopped. A bit sweeter than manzanilla, but still hits the spot.

Back in the south, I was told that blanco is a sweet dessert wine, so we were maybe bucking the local custom somewhat. Here manzanilla is consumed at all times of the day - by everyone from bricklayers to bankers.
