Joseph Puig: Owner/Winemaker Vinedos de Ithaca, Priorat-Spain
Joseph Puig is the owner and winemaker at Viñedos de Ithaca in Priorat. Joseph has been working in the wine business all his life. He was the one who started the Torres winery in Chile for Miguel Torres and he has owned wineries in Portugal and the Penedes region of Spain. He purchased a tiny estate in the Priorat region of Spain 10 years ago and produces an amazing range of small production wines, including wines that are unique in all the world
Raimundo Abando: Owner/Winemaker Bodegas Las Orcas, Rioja, Spain
