The Cycling Podcast
The Cycling Podcast takes listeners to the heart of professional cycling with weekly episodes and daily coverage of the Grand Tours.
Founded by Richard Moore, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie in 2013, The Cycling Podcast is one of the longest-running independent sports podcasts.
Description
The third Grand Tour of the year is also our third opportunity to take listeners on a journey through one of Europe’s powerhouse nations not only in bike-racing but also wine-making.
As in previous years and ahead of this year’s Giro and Tour, we tasked Greg Andrews of Dvine Cellars with plotting our oenological odyssey – in this case with the help of Dvine’s Spanish expert in residence, their Canaries-born and raised Caledonian, Angus McNab.
In this episode of The Cycling Podcast, we take a break from our daily Vuelta coverage to taste the wines and hear Greg and Angus justify and in some cases defend their choices. The selection itself can be ordered from Dvine Cellars.
The six wines are as follows, in the order that they ‘appear’ on the Vuelta route:
- Bat Gara, Uno Txakoli, Basque Country
- Bodegas Tobía, Reserva, Rioja (2014 Gran Reserva also available)
- Raúl Pérez, 'Ultreia Saint Jacques', Mencía, Bierzo
- Telmo Rodriguez, Al-Muvedre Tinto, Monastrell, Alicante
- Callejuela, Hacienda de Dona Francisca, Palomino de Flor, Sanlúcar de Barrameda
- Bodegas Bernabeleva, Camino de Navaherreros Blanco, Madrid
The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.
