Week 7 of WSET Italy, Spain and Portugal no Whites from Portugal or Spain so that kinda of sucks ah well
A good cross section of Italy not to shabby, and I got to drink Nebbiolo so really can't go wrong
Typical Spanish A Rioja
Portugal under rated? the wine was inexpensive and held its ground
I love Nebbiolo nuff said?
