256: 'Matt Talks Wine & Stuff with Interesting People' Podcast: Episode 247 – Rueda winemaker Pedro Martin from Bodegas Protos

We are less then a week away from World Verdejo Day which is happening on Friday, June 5th.I have a bunch of interviews with winemakers, winery owners and other people connected with the Verdejo grape and  the Spanish white wine region of Rueda. Rueda is a two-hour drive northwest of Madrid and is perfect spot for Verdejo with its hot summers, cold winters, crazy old vines and a massive commitment to organic/biodynamic grape growing.My first interview is with winemaker Pedro Martin from Bodegas Protos.His family used to make white wine in Rueda in the 1940s. His journey has gone from learning how to make wine in Bordeaux, working at one of London’s most famous wine stores, Oddbins to now making a variety of Verdejo for Bodegas Protos.
