May have to ditch it eventually, though! You bring up a great point, though, about competing with old world regions and price. It's something that comes up a lot in discussions about wines from MD, VA, PA, etc. But I'm not sure the goal is to compete with Rias Biaxas. Places like OW aren't big enough to expand to the point where their wines would be sold all over the place. They sell their wine at the winery and online (as you noted), but it's a boutique operation, and the sale of their wines seems linked to their potential success as a regional draw/point of interest. I'm not so sure a Maryland Albarino and an Albarino from Rias Biaxas even need to compete.

Might be time to learn the new version, eh? As for Old Westminster, I do not know the winery, but it sounds like you are a fan, which is more than enough for me. I have always contended that "regional wineries" such as OW and those that I visited in PA need to compete on both quality (which it seems OW does) and price. You did not include prices here, but their website reveals that their wines are in the $30-40 range. While admitting that most of the wines are listed as "Sold Out" on the site (good for them!), there is no indication of quantity. Is this a model that they can sustain? In other words, no matter how good their Albaniño might be, can it compete with wines from Rìas Biaxas that are a fraction of the price?Jeffrey Kralikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03985205624556266268noreply@blogger.com
