Irish wine drinkers can’t seem to get enough Albariño, despite the fact that there are dozens of wines on our shelves from this small region in northwest Galicia. 

We are their third-biggest market by volume. Albariño sells itself these days, so this week I am going to talk about the rest of Galicia, which has similarly tasty white wines and arguably just as much potential.
