Geek Speak

The wine world is a class that never ends.  The plethora of information takes a lifetime to learn and even then I don't think you grasp everything.  To me that's what makes wine so fascinating. To help myself continue this challenge I am going to post question or interesting facts that I come across in my studies.  Maybe we can all learn something cool together.

1.  The governing laws that are followed and enforced by the DO(Denominacion de Origen) in Spain cover the entire nation and control every aspect of planting, cultivating, harvesting, vinification, ageing and labeling.  There are currently 66 DO's in Spain  There are however 3 DOCa classification.  This is a higher category of wine based on a proven track record of high quality wines.

Who can name the 3 DOCa in Spain??
