October 2025 - Wines of Galicia - Jessica Williams

 

This month was a presentation on Wines of Galicia (Northwest Spain) by Jessica Williams. Jessica is a Wine educator, attached to the West London Wine School https://www.localwineschool.com/west-london/

I was on Holiday – In very northern Portugal, just a stone’s throw from Galicia. Some quite rarely seen grapes in here, which is a miss for me.

Apparently a very good evening, just under 40 people went.

The wines were:
