Welcome to the new Planeta Vino! I'm Mary O'Connor and after almost 10 years living in Madrid, Spain, I've returned to the US. It's been great to come home but also a big transition after so long!

Planeta Vino was originally the website for my wine tasting school and wine events business in Madrid. Now I'm re-inventing it as a blog primarily on Spanish wine and food, but with much more on wine.

Spanish food is seemingly everywhere and seems to be quite popular at the moment thanks to high profile chefs such as Jose Andres.  Despite this I still find it is pretty hard to find top quality Spanish food that has not strayed too far from the original concept.

Spanish wine is less well represented here in the US; it definitely does not get the respect it is due for offering top notch wines at extremely good prices. Ten years of immersing myself in these wines have really instilled me with a missionary zeal to spread the gospel of Spanish wine!
