Dean’s Spanish Weekend Wine

Hi all and welcome to a new weekend feature entitled “Dean’s Weekend Wine”.

“Wine?” I hear you cry.

Yes, and I will give you three reasons why I hope this becomes a permanent weekend blog feature:

1) Wine is tasty (Especially Spanish wine)

2) Wine is something I would like to learn more about

3) There are a lot of business and marketing lessons that can be learnt from the wine industry

Each weekend I will be tasting a different wine, and I will post my opinions on here. If you are a wine expert, then you can share your knowledge with us, if you are not a wine expert, then this is our chance to learn together.

This evening I will be trying the 2002 “Corte Real” from the Extremadura area of Spain.

For all of you wine geeks out there, here is some further info:

So how about it? Do you fancy joining in with future episodes of Dean’s Weekend Wine?

• Would you like to try some Spanish wines?
