A Long Walk Through the Wines of Spain : PALATE PRESS. On April 7, 2007, I left the town of Pamplona on foot, carrying a pack with clothes, water, and a few other necessities. The words of a friend echoed in my head: Buen Camino. So I walked. El Camino de Santiago, or Way of St. James, is a pilgrim’s path that begins in the French Pyrenees, stretching 800 kilometers across northern Spain before finishing at last in Santiago de Compostella, 80 kilometers from the Atlantic Ocean. On May 8, I finished my pilgrimage, arriving before the immense gothic cathedral of St. James. The anniversary of my arrival in Santiago, and the end of my Camino, is approaching, and every year at this time I reflect on that thirty day trek.

And I fell in love with the wine. Wine plays an important role in a pilgrim’s journey, both as a reward for a hard day trekking and a palliative for aching muscles and sore feet. Spain has many indigenous grape varieties, and wine styles range from sweet to dry and still to sparkling. So enjoy: Buen Camino.
