24 Hours in Spain's Wine Lover's Paradise

Thanks!

One of those drinks was on me! And of course, I will be WAITING for that Logroño video (with Phil - is this a series?). I may be waiting IN Logroño ready to crash the party, but waiting nonetheless. 🤪

[@summerwine9918]

Another absolutley hilarious video from you two. Very happy about this new on-screen (and real-life) bromance. I also have to say that the editing here is superb and really adds to the whole video!

[@spainrevealed]

Cheers Simon! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@cherylbalcombe5619]

James/Phil, I absolutely loved, loved, loved this video! Even though you guys weren't born in Spain, I'm adding you to my list of "Spaniards" who make the world better. BTW, this list includes some famous Spanish bachata dancers and la bella Yolly xx

[@spainrevealed]

I appreciate being added to the list Cheryl!

[@peter_bazinet]

When Phil said "VENGA", it warmed my heart. There IS hope. But I do agree with him about flowery wines. And I STILL have a stuffed animal on my bed.

[@spainrevealed]

haha so glad you still have the stuffed toy!

[@miriamO212]

I loved how you tied in the topic of the difficulty that men face at keeping up their male friendships as they head into middle age. As someone who used to work for the Movember Foundation, I've seen what a detrimental effect this has on men. Great video, as always. Glad you had a nice trip with Phil!

[@spainrevealed]

I appreciate your comment on that Miriam --- yeah, it felt right to mix in some personal aspects.

[@jmstorrealba2711]

A wine as good as the 2004 Imperial Gran Reserva can't be opened and drunk so quickly, it must be opened at least half an hour or an hour before drinking it (preferably in a decanter), so it can oxygenate, the improvement in flavor is enormous!

[@matthewjackson8615]

Great video! Love phil too, so honest and genuine!

[@porculizador]

18:55 i guess that answers the question of "when was the last time you cried in front of someone?" LOL

[@johnheaney6383]

That was a refreshing change. Glad you guys had a blast!

[@alexandreleveille1407]

Haro is amazing. The old town is lovely, too. It was our first trip to Rioja when we went, so I wish we would have spent a bit more time in Haro. Next time! It's always fun to watch you and Phil together.

Very well done. Let's see one about Jerez and Sanlucar de Barremeda. Sherry here we come.

[@christopherwright8600]

Haro looks a top place for great wine and 'tasting' an authentic wine town vibe of La Rioja. Really enjoyed the mix of wine knowledge, history and the bromance. One of your best videos yet James! Haro's on my list. And I'm going to pinch your quote, "Wine isn't pretentious, people are pretentious". I'd give Phil's elevator pitch a 7.5/10. Solid, hits the basics, without a killer punch.

[@Edu_Silver21]

Great video, it was really nice to meet Phil. Hopefully we see you soon again. Even if I'm not that much of a wine drinker it's really interesting to know its history and people lives around it

[@jongoikoetxea9448]

Five kilometers from Haro is the medieval town of Labastida, with numerous wineries and beautiful stone houses arranged in rural hotels. In addition to numerous restaurants, special mention to Ariño.

[@nomeimporta1327]

This bromance story is promising. Keep going.

[@ceasol]

Now we we need a video of ¨El Triangulo de Oro", Jerez de la Frontera, San Lúcar de Barrameda y el Puerto de Santa María. And the other wine regions of Spain.

[@laurawenrickvinovin]

Thank you!! I really enjoyed watching this!! So much better than “Sideways” the movie!! Keep doing what you do!!!

[@mistreated]

Oh James, you are giving away all of our best "secret hide-aways"! lol. No, really, nobody is better at sharing the best of our beloved Spanish culture, history and gastronomy. Cheers

[@virginiafeliciano9318]

I absolutely love, love this video! I had no idea that Haro existed! Oh you have made my day James! Now I will make sure that when I get back to Spain this place will definitely be on my itinerary. Gracias!

[@markduffy5773]

My wife and I went to CVNE and Bodegas Roda in June, loved both! Next time I go to La Rioja, we will stay in Haro instead of Logrono.

[@tonydeltablues]

You guys! I'm so pleased for you both. I'm suffering from 'Malienation' but thankfully i have a couple of male friends with whom I can begin to overcome and reconnect with healthy male relationships. Loving the video x Tony

[@timahelm]

I love when Phil joins! TSFP patreon member/fan here!

[@JanG_GC]

Loved this and now adding Haro to my list of places to visit in Spain. Such a great dynamic between you two that I (almost) didn't miss Yoly.

[@billb5625]

Enjoyed this video very much and the point about the more expensive wines not always better than the less expensive. You probably know this already but the wine 'triangle' of Jumilla, Yecla and Bullas in the Murcia region is worth exploring too...

[@salehmark]

The boys are back in town 🎶 🎵 💪 💪 💪

[@flowergirl4652]

I loved this video. I may have to plan a family reunion in Haro!

[@alexisdufresne8663]

My wife and I are going to Bilbao in June. We looked into Rioja guided tours only to conclude that it's WAY overpriced for what's offered... Your awesome video made us realize that we should simply get on a bus to Haro and spend the day there Bodega Hopping! The town looks lovely. Thanks to you and Phil for having pointed us in the right direction and keeping us entertained in the process!

[@Garcwyn]

It would make for an interesting twist to see Phil bringing you to his favourite place to eat & drink, but mostly eat, in Madrid. Although if it’s not there but elsewhere in Spain even better. Ah and it doesn’t have to be Spanish food

[@staceylarson7030]

Another great video! Spain is full of surprises. Had never heard of the city of Haro.

[@wellydude1]

Great video, love Spain and we will have to visit this area. Didn’t notice the palate cleanser or intermezzo between the €4 and €51 glass of wine though.

[@theSSHITT]

I did not know the French kickstarted Rioja. We are loving your bromance! Keep up the good work!

[@rsnankivell1962]

That's not entirely true. Wine has been produced in that area since Roman times. The French introduced in the late of 19th century just some type of strain which was added to those that already existed there previously, nothing more.

[@stocksmarts_]

Hello! Any chance you would be in Barcelona on September 14 to 20? Will be flying there for a couple of days would love to interview you about spain from a personal finance point of view.

[@spainrevealed]

Hi Marvin, I'm afraid I won't be there then.

[@HoltMarkb]

Great video - that's what I call a boys trip. I want a copa vino tinto now!

[@MYTravelBF]

I lived in Logroño, La Rioja for 2 years, and you really did justice to Haro and all the wine there! I never tried the $51 glass, nor the Imperial Gran Reserva, but it was so much fun watching you try them Now, I'm really missing La Rioja 😭 It's truly one of the most underrated parts of Spain!🍷Another wonderful video, James!

[@manuelromeroarcos8160]

No te engañes eso de la Rioja mas bien es manchego

Great video James. I started watching your videos in 2019 to research things to do in Spain but now I just watch because I enjoy your videos and makes me feel closer to Spain. I miss it so much! I am curious though....are you supposed to let a chilled bottle of red wine come down to room temperature before drinking? Your thoughts?

Hi James and Yoly! I love your videos! I have a couple of questions since I’m going to be in Rioja and Madrid in a couple of weeks: 1) How easy is is to get a taxi in Haro (did you make reservation or use an app? 2) Do you offer private tours for 1-2 couples in Madrid (for 1/2 to 1 day) Thx! Vin

[@mitcoes]

Congratulations, if the views go well enough, you can make a series with each wine region, and as Spain has a lot, another way of "reveal Spain". Mediterranean wines, are not so famous (except for cava, not great marketing), but they are great too.

[@manuelromeroarcos8160]

La mayor región en producción de vino es Castilla la Mancha lo cual quiere decir que el vino de la Rioja no es riojano es mayoritariamente manchego

[@mitcoes]

@@manuelromeroarcos8160 Al igual que los franceses son maestros en mezclar vinos ajenos y hacerlos pasar por suyos, hace no muchas décadas el vino valenciano se exportaba a granel a Francia (y Rioja) a mansalva, (primera mercancía de su destacado puerto), pero algunos empezaron a tratarlo en casa para ganar más, y ya no tienen nada que envidiar al tratamiento que se les realiza allá, y poco o nada se exporta a granel ya.
