I have unlocked the white wine madness… once you start you can’t stop.  I am getting so much more comfortable with tasting different white wines and today I get into Godello, a grape varietal from the northwestern part of Spain in Galicia.  This area is known as the gateway to Galician lands.  It is filled with granitic soils which ultimately pushes the roots of the vines deeper into the ground causing them to probe for nourishment which can result in the vines being more resistant to extreme conditions (ex. heat & drought). 

Today’s wine producer is located on the slopes of Valdeorras, among the mountain along the passage of the river called Sil. Tune in as I get into tasting this delicious white wine while talking about my entrepreneurship journey update, letting go of control and riding the wave of where life takes you. Ultimately, you always end up being exactly where you need to be.
