One of those drinks was on me! And of course, I will be WAITING for that Logroño video (with Phil - is this a series?). I may be waiting IN Logroño ready to crash the party, but waiting nonetheless. 🤪
Five kilometers from Haro is the medieval town of Labastida, with numerous wineries and beautiful stone houses arranged in rural hotels. In addition to numerous restaurants, special mention to Ariño.
Oh James, you are giving away all of our best "secret hide-aways"! lol. No, really, nobody is better at sharing the best of our beloved Spanish culture, history and gastronomy. Cheers
Enjoyed this video very much and the point about the more expensive wines not always better than the less expensive. You probably know this already but the wine 'triangle' of Jumilla, Yecla and Bullas in the Murcia region is worth exploring too...
That's not entirely true. Wine has been produced in that area since Roman times. The French introduced in the late of 19th century just some type of strain which was added to those that already existed there previously, nothing more.
I'm so disappointed you didn't visit Logroño... Calle Laurel is world famous for the pinxos and the wine is amazing! You HAVE TO COME BACK AND DO LOGRONO PLEASE :D
Is there an equivalent town like Haro for the Ribera del Duero wine area? Just back from 2 weeks in Spain, we found those wines so much better than Rioja.
Another absolutley hilarious video from you two. Very happy about this new on-screen (and real-life) bromance. I also have to say that the editing here is superb and really adds to the whole video!
James/Phil, I absolutely loved, loved, loved this video! Even though you guys weren't born in Spain, I'm adding you to my list of "Spaniards" who make the world better. BTW, this list includes some famous Spanish bachata dancers and la bella Yolly xx
A wine as good as the 2004 Imperial Gran Reserva can't be opened and drunk so quickly, it must be opened at least half an hour or an hour before drinking it (preferably in a decanter), so it can oxygenate, the improvement in flavor is enormous!
It would make for an interesting twist to see Phil bringing you to his favourite place to eat & drink, but mostly eat, in Madrid. Although if it’s not there but elsewhere in Spain even better. Ah and it doesn’t have to be Spanish food
I loved how you tied in the topic of the difficulty that men face at keeping up their male friendships as they head into middle age. As someone who used to work for the Movember Foundation, I've seen what a detrimental effect this has on men. Great video, as always. Glad you had a nice trip with Phil!
Hello! Any chance you would be in Barcelona on September 14 to 20? Will be flying there for a couple of days would love to interview you about spain from a personal finance point of view.
Great video, it was really nice to meet Phil. Hopefully we see you soon again. Even if I'm not that much of a wine drinker it's really interesting to know its history and people lives around it
Haro looks a top place for great wine and 'tasting' an authentic wine town vibe of La Rioja. Really enjoyed the mix of wine knowledge, history and the bromance. One of your best videos yet James! Haro's on my list. And I'm going to pinch your quote, "Wine isn't pretentious, people are pretentious". I'd give Phil's elevator pitch a 7.5/10. Solid, hits the basics, without a killer punch.
Is that the restaurant where you went to eat with Mark Wiens? A bit crazy to take a shaken top wine in a bag and then drink it, just for the show 🙂 B.T.W. excellent video 🙂
You guys! I'm so pleased for you both. I'm suffering from 'Malienation' but thankfully i have a couple of male friends with whom I can begin to overcome and reconnect with healthy male relationships. Loving the video x Tony
My wife and I are going to Bilbao in June. We looked into Rioja guided tours only to conclude that it's WAY overpriced for what's offered... Your awesome video made us realize that we should simply get on a bus to Haro and spend the day there Bodega Hopping! The town looks lovely. Thanks to you and Phil for having pointed us in the right direction and keeping us entertained in the process!
Hi James and Yoly! I love your videos! I have a couple of questions since I’m going to be in Rioja and Madrid in a couple of weeks: 1) How easy is is to get a taxi in Haro (did you make reservation or use an app? 2) Do you offer private tours for 1-2 couples in Madrid (for 1/2 to 1 day) Thx! Vin
Now we we need a video of ¨El Triangulo de Oro", Jerez de la Frontera, San Lúcar de Barrameda y el Puerto de Santa María. And the other wine regions of Spain.
Haro is amazing. The old town is lovely, too. It was our first trip to Rioja when we went, so I wish we would have spent a bit more time in Haro. Next time! It's always fun to watch you and Phil together.
I lived in Logroño, La Rioja for 2 years, and you really did justice to Haro and all the wine there! I never tried the $51 glass, nor the Imperial Gran Reserva, but it was so much fun watching you try them Now, I'm really missing La Rioja 😭 It's truly one of the most underrated parts of Spain!🍷Another wonderful video, James!
What a waste of fine wine and space. I don't know much about wines as far as how to produce them, but I know my pallet and what tastes good to me. I never had a bad wine in Spain when I visited in 2019. I always asked for their regional wine or just Rioja..
Estoy con nuestro amigo Phil, yo tambien prefiero el viña ardanza calidad precio es de lo mejor de españa, yo te recomendaria marques de murrieta 2018 imperial cvne reserva 2017 y ese viña ardanza 2015 calidad precio (rondan todos los 22 euros) son vinos de rioja muy recomendados para todo el mundo. Casi siempre te veo disfrutando de los riojas y riberas si quieres probar algo diferente yo te recomiendo por ejemplo de Enate el Merlot Merlot 2016, es de Somontano una joya que no deja indiferete a nadie
Honestly, I have had wine that is between $15.00 to $50.00 and I have enjoyed many varieties but they were never on the high end side. I have my favorites. Phil is absolutely correct....people are pretentious....not the wine. I drink what satisfies my pallet.
James, at least make some minimal effort to express the not-so-subtle racism towards clueless Phil, lol. The constant condescending tone, while having no background in oenology whatsoever, makes it even more ridiculous and embarrassing. I did have fun listening to your amateur opinion on Spanish wines though.
Nice tour but too touristy in my opinion as a wine lover. Those are big brand bodegas that produce milions of bottles. I'm more of small family owned bodegas. You're quite brave drinking those wines with 15% abv all day though. Good video man!
@@spainrevealedyour videos are always great. I always learn something great and interesting, and how can I pass up You and Phil together....you guys are a comedy duo.
Great video James. I started watching your videos in 2019 to research things to do in Spain but now I just watch because I enjoy your videos and makes me feel closer to Spain. I miss it so much! I am curious though....are you supposed to let a chilled bottle of red wine come down to room temperature before drinking? Your thoughts?
When Phil said "VENGA", it warmed my heart. There IS hope. But I do agree with him about flowery wines. And I STILL have a stuffed animal on my bed.
haha so glad you still have the stuffed toy!
Thanks!

I did not know the French kickstarted Rioja. We are loving your bromance! Keep up the good work!
That's not entirely true. Wine has been produced in that area since Roman times. The French introduced in the late of 19th century just some type of strain which was added to those that already existed there previously, nothing more.
Definitely adding Haro on the “to visit” list
Literally am doing this EXACT trip next month.. Terete is one of my favorite spots!
I loved this video. I may have to plan a family reunion in Haro!
Great video, guys!
Para ver viñedos en la mancha no en la rioja
I love James courting Phil… there’s even a Netflix and chill moment!
Hahahahahahaha
Thanks for making this James, just returned from a boys weekend trip to Haro we had no idea this existed. Onion festival next year !
Poor Phil looks broken, great video wish it was longer
Bring Sid Lowe along next time too!
Best video you've ever made
Funny video and I feel like I just want to join in 😊
I'm so disappointed you didn't visit Logroño... Calle Laurel is world famous for the pinxos and the wine is amazing! You HAVE TO COME BACK AND DO LOGRONO PLEASE :D
My favourite place on the planet 🍷
Is there an equivalent town like Haro for the Ribera del Duero wine area? Just back from 2 weeks in Spain, we found those wines so much better than Rioja.
Piensa que en Burdeos la copa de vino más barata cuesta 5 euros, un vino equivalente al más barato que has bebido costaría el doble.
Now I am so curious about what's in the bag.
Brilliant
Good video 😆 bravo
Great vid.🍷🍷👍
Bromance
Don't think it's just a male thing...
Well I prefer Yoly over Phil
🇪🇦❌🇪🇦
The thumbnail pics are just aweful too look at and more aimed for the pre-teen crowds. Does an adult need to make those kind of faces to get clicks?
Thanks!

This bromance story is promising. Keep going.

Very well done. Let's see one about Jerez and Sanlucar de Barremeda. Sherry here we come.

Hi Marvin, I'm afraid I won't be there then.
Great video! Love phil too, so honest and genuine!
wonder what Yoly says, when you buy the best wine for a friend and not her 😄😄
That was a refreshing change. Glad you guys had a blast!
That was fun. I really enjoyed it and I'm hoping your malienation is cured. ;-)

"Bring me a corkscrew and some ham" That's my sort of statement :-)
Loved this and now adding Haro to my list of places to visit in Spain. Such a great dynamic between you two that I (almost) didn't miss Yoly.
My wife and I went to CVNE and Bodegas Roda in June, loved both! Next time I go to La Rioja, we will stay in Haro instead of Logrono.
Best bromance ever. Better than Ben and Matt.
Ben and Matt who? 🍷
Phil is the goat. More Phil content

Thank you!! I really enjoyed watching this!! So much better than “Sideways” the movie!! Keep doing what you do!!!
Thank You for not taking him out for food, he's boring and doesn't eat anything!!
Not a foodie like James but I am sure he enjoys drinks :)
Great video - that's what I call a boys trip. I want a copa vino tinto now!
18:55 i guess that answers the question of "when was the last time you cried in front of someone?" LOL
Perfect elevator pitch, Phil.
I don't think I've ever been more jealous of two men in my life! 🍷
Amazing video guys!!! Do it again please!!
