Chris Lynch

Fine evening in the company of @SpanishWineCol founder and tech guru Chris Lynch. Manzanilla and razor clams a new favourite pairing. Crunchy @Adegas_Guimaro mencía from the vertiginous slopes of the Sil river and a lovely sweet moscatel kissed by Atlantic breezes.

My ramblings in León, Spain. Bar hopping mainly! #spain #leon #food #wine spanishwinecollective.com/blog/embutido-…

Wine of the week is the Albahra 2023 by Envínate. It’s a wine that almost everyone seems to like. And as @Lynch3 writes, a success with a guest who describes it as a ‘hip wine’. spanishwinecollective.com/blog/albahra-2…

José Luis Rodríguez Martínez @iusufr takes us on a tour of five Madrid taverns that offer an opportunity to relive the atmosphere of the past. These authentic places combine a rich and exciting history with a contemporary take on great Spanish wine. spanishwinecollective.com/blog/five-hist…

Chris Lynch introduces us to Arcos. En mi vida, macho. It must be one that we don’t have in Galicia, in spite of being home to 65% of all of Spain’s varieties. Not just a wild claim, I’ll have y’all know.

Wine of the week, Chris Lynch goes to one of our favourite producers, Rafael Cambra, and opens his Casalabor, a tinto made with the local variety Arcos. An elegant wine with flavours of red fruits and herbs, that evokes warmer days by the Mediterranean. spanishwinecollective.com/blog/casalabor…

Our Catalonia correspondent @elsamicsdelvi spends an afternoon with master amphora maker Carles Llarch @ceramicarles. Carles works with different types of clay to create unique amphorae matched to the type of wine and the techniques of the winemaker. spanishwinecollective.com/blog/carles-ll…

Proud to say I had a hand in getting Miguel Crunia, one of the UK's top sommeliers, to write a guest piece for our Spanish Wine Collective this month. Right On! spanishwinecollective.com/blog/flor-2021…

Our wine of the week is by Miguel Crunia, one of Britain’s top sommeliers. Miguel tells us all about the Flor 2021, a unique artesanal wine made by Samuel Párraga at Bodega Viñeron in Málaga province. spanishwinecollective.com/blog/flor-2021

It’s Sherry Week 2024. Our wine of the week is the Solear Manzanilla en Rama: Saca de Primavera 2023 from @bodegasbarbadillo. Bill Bolloten reflects on the devastating floods in Spain, the consolation of nature, maintaining hope and a stunning Manzanilla. spanishwinecollective.com/blog/solear-ma…

Sumoll is the protagonist in this Blanc de Noirs sparkler from the Massís de Garraf in Catalonia. The Clos Lentiscus Blanc de Noirs Brut Nature 2018 is our wine of the week and Alan Nance @elsamicsdelvi is a fan spanishwinecollective.com/blog/clos-lent…

For our latest wine of the week @BillBolloten gives us the lowdown on this superb tinto, Samaruco 2019 from @luisperezwinery. A blend of Syrah and Petit Verdot that is powerful and concentrated, but also lifted and elegant. spanishwinecollective.com/blog/samaruco-…

In our latest wine of the week, @MacMaghnusa1960 enjoys an Albariño from Bodegas Casa Monte Pío, where a young winemaker carries on the family tradition in the heart of the Val do Salnés. #albariño #riasbaixas spanishwinecollective.com/blog/raxeira-2…

@ADHalliwell Thanks Andrew!!

"...I’ll admit we were deep into extra-time here..." - quite amusing way of putting it. I might use that on myself some time. @Lynch3 celebrates his birthday in style, with friends in Madrid.

I wrote a little something. If you could give it a read it would be massively appreciated 🙏🏻 #wine #spain #spanishwine

@nigelhaddon Ex-works, mind you!

Loved a first visit to OMA in Borough Market last night. Greek with a twist or ten, buzzy, great service & fab wines. Delighted to have @Lynch3 to share the experience with. He’s holding a bottle of Garnacha along with a photo of him at the winery a week ago (where it was €2!)
