Wine Interview: Noah Chichester | The Wines of Galicia (w/Bonus Martín Códax Albariño Review)

This week we sit down with writer and storyteller Noah Chichester, the voice behind Wines of Galicia. Noah shares how a college job in a small wine shop set him on a path that led to teaching in Spain, falling in love with Albariño, and dedicating himself to telling the story of one of Spain’s most overlooked wine regions.We dive into what makes Galicia so distinct from the rest of Spain, from its Celtic coastline to its remarkable diversity of native grapes. Noah explains why Albariño is the perfect gateway to the region, why Mencía deserves more attention, and how Galicia’s wines deliver both freshness and value.Along the way, we taste a bottle of Martín Códax Albariño and share our thoughts on its sea-spray minerality, citrus brightness, and surprising complexity. All for around thirteen dollars.Whether you’re a longtime Spanish wine fan or just starting your journey, this episode offers a fresh look at why Galicia should be on your radar.Connect with Noah and The Wines of GaliciaThe Wines of Galicia Websitehttps://winesofgalicia.com/The Wines of Galicia on Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/@winesofgaliciaNoah on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/nchichesterConnect with the show.
