2012 Campo Viejo Rioja Gran Reserva (or, How To Read A Wine Label)

By Mark Law Leave a Comment

Thought I’d try something new with this video.

Instead of introducing new facts and figures, here’s a little demonstration of how you might apply what you have already learned in the context of walking through a wine shop, or reading through a restaurant wine list.

More important than the brand name, I am looking at the wine’s:

  • Origin
  • Grape Variety/ies
  • Winemaking
  • Vintage
  • Price

In over 90% of cases this is enough information for me to decide if I want to roll the dice on any particular bottle of wine.

I hope you like watching the video, let me know if you have any questions by leaving a comment here or through my contact page.
