• Region:Rioja, Ribera del Duero, Priorat, Mendoza, Rias Baixas, Cote du Beaune, Alsace.
• Dream wine:A beautifully crafted, aged Rioja Gran Reserva. At this stage I haven't tried enough to know specifically what I want, only that I adore the style. So long as I can share it with good company and perhaps roasted Lamb, I won't be too picky.

About Me

My name is Fintan, owner of WineCuentista and eternal student of wine. I am based in Barcelona, Spain and work in a small wine shop organising wine tastings of contemporary Spanish wine for expats, local businesses and tourists. I am using Cellar Tracker to document my analytical tasting notes for reference and also to meet like-minded wine drinkers along the way. My notes are laid out thus as I am studying with the WSET and follow their lexicon analysing wine, something I feel covers all accounts of the wine and a style I am very comfortable with. I finish every tasting note with a value proposition of quality vs money, something I feel is often overlooked although in Spain this tends to be in the positive!.
