The third Grand Tour of the year is also our third opportunity to take listeners on a journey through one of Europe’s powerhouse nations not only in bike-racing but also wine-making.

As in previous years and ahead of this year’s Giro and Tour, we tasked Greg Andrews of Dvine Cellars with plotting our oenological odyssey – in this case with the help of Dvine’s Spanish expert in residence, their Canaries-born and raised Caledonian, Angus McNab.

In this episode of The Cycling Podcast, we take a break from our daily Vuelta coverage to taste the wines and hear Greg and Angus justify and in some cases defend their choices. The selection itself can be ordered from Dvine Cellars. 

The six wines are as follows, in the order that they ‘appear’ on the Vuelta route:

- Bat Gara, Uno Txakoli, Basque Country

- Bodegas Tobía, Reserva, Rioja (2014 Gran Reserva also available)

- Raúl Pérez, 'Ultreia Saint Jacques', Mencía, Bierzo

- Telmo Rodriguez, Al-Muvedre Tinto, Monastrell, Alicante

- Callejuela, Hacienda de Dona Francisca, Palomino de Flor, Sanlúcar de Barrameda

- Bodegas Bernabeleva, Camino de Navaherreros Blanco, Madrid

In this episode, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe are reunited to discuss a vintage Tour de France.

Every year, Daniel gives the Tour de France a rating of one to five wine glasses according to how good the race has been. The precise formula is, as you'd expect, a closely guarded secret but in this episode Daniel explains his mark for the 2022 Tour.

We look back at the battle between Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar and ask whether it is the beginning of a long-running rivalry or whether the Slovenian will be back on top next year. We discuss why the racing was so intense – was it just the Wout van Aert factor or was there more to it? And while it was a classic edition of the race, we talk about why the Tour still lags behind the Giro in an aesthetic sense.
