Discover these two Spanish wines from lesser-known areas
This week two wines from Faustino Rivero, a dynamic family-owned company based in Rioja. The fifth generation has expanded the business to include wineries in other less well-known regions of Spain , including Navarra, Utiel-Requena and Rías Baixas. Both wines are available in Tesco . The Albariño comes in an unusual blue bottle, but don't let that put you off; this is a nice wine. The Rioja comes in a more traditional package. A Crianza spends less time in oak barrels than a Reserva or Gran Reserva which can be a good thing. The wine is given a smooth sheen by the maturation without picking up too many oaky flavours. John Wilson 0108 Rias Baixas Faustino Rivero Albariño Rías Baixas 2023 12.5% abv, €16, Tesco Fresh and vibrant with juicy light pear and apple fruits. While this would make a nice sipping wine, it would also go well with most seafood dishes and white meats.

First Edition Festival celebrates volume that made Bard a best seller
With the modest title of Poems, Chiefly in the Scottish Dialect, John Wilson printers produced 612 copies of this first edition, including now-iconic works such as The Twa Dogs, Halloween, To a Mouse and The Cotter's Saturday Night. Priced at three shillings, the reception was immediate and nearly the entire first edition sold out within weeks, cementing Burns as a literary superstar. But without the influence of his Kilmarnock-based printer, his star may never have risen at all. Burns was engulfed in a personal crisis at the time, facing financial strain from his farming efforts and pressure on his relationship with Jean Armour from her disapproving father. Desperate for a fresh start, Burns began to plan a relocation to Jamaica. His friend Gavin Hamilton suggested that Burns could raise money for his passage by publishing a selection of his poems. Inspired by this idea, Burns sought out John Wilson, setting in motion the chain of events that would forever entwine him with the town of Kilmarnock. And it is this relationship that the First Edition Festival commemorates. Beginning on Saturday 19 July, the celebrations kick off with the formal opening of the 2025 Festival at the iconic Burns mural in the centre of Kilmarnock. The following day sees an Annual Service of Commemoration by the Ayrshire Association of Burns Clubs, then a live performance of the Jolly Beggars Cantata at New Laigh Kirk in Kilmarnock. Monday 21 July offers the chance to follow in Burns footsteps, in an interactive exploration of his links to Kilmarnock, with a guided tour of the Kilmarnock Burns Trail. There's also a 'Tak a Cup o' Kindness Café' at the Robert Burns Federation HQ in the town, plus live music at 3pm. Highlights of Tuesday's programme include an Open Mic Night, on Dunlop Street, while Wednesday sees some fierce competition at the Best Haggis in Ayrshire contest. Butchers from across the region will battle for the coveted prize, with the public invited to join the tasting and cast their vote. On Thursday 24 July, the big event is the Alternative Burns Supper. Offering a twist on the traditional event, it will offer live entertainment, Taste of Scotland samples and free Irn Bru all night. What's not to like? There's also a whisky tasting evening courtesy of Lochlea Distillery on the Friday evening, then a Chieftain's Gala Dinner held on Saturday night in Kilmarnock. And to round the event off, Sunday 27 July sees the Commemoration of the First Edition by dignitaries and Burns experts at a special service in the town. This will be followed by a buffet and a live performance of 'Heart o' a Bonnie Lass' to end the celebrations on a high. With around 30 events to enjoy across the festival – all free to attend with the exception of the Burns Supper and the Gala Dinner – this is a truly inclusive event. And whether you are a Burns enthusiast or a total novice, there's something for everyone to enjoy at the First Edition Festival. Aboon them a' ye tak your place! 1st Edition Festival 19th July –27 July 2025. Saturday 19 July 2025 10:00 Sunday 27 July 2025 13:00 The Robert Burns World Federation Ltd, 3A John Dickie Street, Kilmarnock KA1 1HW
