S12 Ep92: Vinos de la Vuelta

S12 Ep92: Vinos de la Vuelta

By The Cycling Podcast

WARNING: EPISODE CONTAINS VERY LITTLE CYCLING CHAT!

Our Vuelta coverage started earlier this week with a pre-race KM0 very much inspired by this year’s Portuguese ‘Gran Salida’, plus our usual XL Preview episode - and the build-up continues with our now traditional wine-lover’s guide to the route.

As usual, Dvine Cellars have put together a case designed to take your taste buds where the peloton will ride over the next three weeks. On Thursday, before flying to Lisbon, Daniel also headed to Dvine's London HQ for some, ahem, vital last minute prep - and below you can hear his conversation with our and Dvine’s resident guru of the grapes (or maybe “Sultan of Smashability”??), Greg Andrews.

UK residents can order the Vuelta selection here -https://dvinecellars.com/products/the-cycling-podcast-la-vuelta-24 - while overseas listeners should glean enough from Daniel’s chat with Greg to assemble their own approximation. Please drink in moderation and ¡Salud! to all!
