When was the last time you had an authentic Galician meal?

The Rías Baixas, located on Spain’s Costa de Mariscos in the southern part of the Galicia region, is a kindred geographical spirit to the Pacific Northwest. Which is to say, it rains there — a lot. Luckily, the resilient, en vogue Mediterranean variety of Albariño handles the dampness quite nicely. The grape has no trouble growing — or even flourishing — in the misty, cool coastal terrain that is much like our own.
