Wine of the Week: Camins del Priorat 2012

Despite its simplicity, Camins del Priorat is a  fresh and soft red wine from the  interesting the Spanish region of Priorat. In the nose is very interesting and I would even say funny...

This was the perfect ending to an totally unexpected afternoon and evening of laughs, talks and fun with friends...

Wine of The week, Cepa 21 2009

If you asked me to define the wine of this week in one word I would imediately say Elegance. This is a very well balanced wine or, instead I should say harmony, between the fruit the barrel and the alcohol. This is undoubtedly a must taste in the Ribera del Duero Region (more info at http://www.cepa21.com/en/wine/cepa-21-2009).

Thanks Miguel!

Wine of the Week: Coto de Hayas Garnacha Centenaria 2012

We found the Wine of this week, a 100% Garnacha, on an unexpected trip to the Valle de la Fuenfría, in the surroundings of Cercedilha in Sierra de Guadarrama, Madrid
Undoubtedly a great Spanish wine to try... 

Wine of the week: Lagar de Cervera 2012

If you follow us on twitter or instagram you should already be waiting for this to be  Wine of the Week, unfortunately I am writing this post just after finishing the last bottle we had at home...

I had the pleasure to discover this wine two years ago in a wine tasting in Wellington Hotel in Madrid and since then this is a must have at home. 

This wine will go perfectly with seafood, fish, rice dishes or also with appetizers.

2012 was not only its 25th birthday but an excellent year for this wine which makes it an excellent price-quality wine.

Wine of The week: Tomás Postigo Crianza 2010

Tomás Postigo who,between 1988 and 2008, created and directed one of the most iconic wines from Ribera del Duero Region, Pago de Carroviejas, launched in 2008 his own project.

After tasting this precious nectar that our friends Emily and Caesar brought us from their weekend in Ribera del Duero, Spain, I would risk to say that this wine will give much to talk about in the near future of this region and of Spanish wines...

Wine of The week: Petalos del Bierzo 2011

This week a wine from D.O. Bierzo, locaten in the northwest region of Spain. Petalos del Bierzo is a mono-varietal made from Mencía Grapes, a tipe I'd never tasted before. An excellent suggestion from Jorge Trifón that was a perfect match with our amazing meal on his restaurant, el Fogón de Trifón (Madrid).

Wine of the Week: Finca La Emperatriz

Every time we go to the Restaurant Jota 5 in Madrid we don’t have to choose the wine we will drink because our friends immediately serve us Finca La Emperatriz Crianza 2009. This wine, from the Spanish Region of Rioja Alta e made with Tempranillo, Garnacha and Viura Grapes. As every special things the only problem is that it is not easy to find it in Madrid but finally after contacting the winery I was able to find it…  Well writing  about this wine is like writing about a friend… better meet it ;)
