A lovely and oh so necessary break from politics. Indulge in the palate cleanser here and let your mind fill with rocky cliffs, salt air, and delicious meals paired with a good wine. Sigh. Gracias, Jose.

Loved this piece! Thank you Chef and Kara for sharing such a great interview—Kara's explanations of wine pairings and her favorites right now were knowledgeable but presented in a really attainable and friendly way!

It is always exciting to hear from a female wine expert. My husband and I have been to Spain many times, but we have yet to make it to Madeira hopefully within the next year or so, but I love the conversation with Kara thanks

In terms of Spanish wines--A short piece on Spanish reds ( or whites), as an example only, that's a primer on less typical choices , like Mencia or Garnacha. would be useful. This offering is largely marketing.
