Cava de Paraje Calificada on-air tasting – comment from producer!

 

 

Gracias Colin por este link y el WeTransfer del podcast.

Oigo a Eric Clapton hacer una maravillosa introducción! Muchas gracias por aceptar la sugerencia.

Absolutely wonderful is the comment that I keep from you! Thank you once again.

You ended up pronouncing SABATÉ I COCA very correctly, even the word CASTELLROIG – not so difficult though for an English speaker!

 

Salut,

Subject: A BIG THANK YOU.
Hi Col,
Thank you for brightening up Phil’s and my miserable day. Firstly Phil’s team got thrashed by Arsenal 5 – 2, then whilst your were on air, Liverpool were getting done over by Spurs 4 – 1. It couldn’t get any worse, Oh and Tranmere lost yesterday.
Then a knight in shining armour arrived on the laptop to cheer us up. Well done, it was very interesting, and you were very generous in your comments towards us, the Rogers and Phil, and Cheshire Badminton in general. Great memories for us all. All the records we chose were spot on for us – thank you.
I would really like to think that somehow Steve got to know the record we chose for him. Oh and thanks for airing the ” Barney Rubble ” tag.
All for now, and thanks again,
Rog ( or is it Barney ?)

Seems I can be quite useful sometimes!

I have just spent a wonderful time at Blasco tasting a series of reds. It seems to me that each of several stalls dotted around were manned by representatives from a variety of bodegas. All the chaps were delightful and helpful, as you’d expect. In the end, I settled on a Ribero roble from Torres, Celeste, which was a good price and bought 6 bottles. Many thanks for suggesting that I go along  –  it was most enjoyable.
Cheers, Mick

Hi Colin

Many thanks for the info below. We went along with Hilary and Stewart and had a fab time. We all said it was one of the best tasting we have been to. They had disco music, many tasty snacks and several bars set up for tasting and as you said all for free and all in a great relaxed atmosphere, they even told us to keep the wine glasses afterwards. There were some excellent wines there and we both bought boxes to stock up!

 

See you next Saturday at the Golf Club!

 

Best regards

Mike and Cele

 

Hola – a quick note before lightening hits my computer!

I’ve been invited to a rather fine tasting at Blasco, Teulada, this Friday – runs from about 11 am – through to late.

21 Torres wines, from various different DOs – I’d definitely go  but I’m teaching all day!  However, I asked if ok to invite others, and they were happy for me to do so!

Gratis, I believe!

Enjoy!

Colin

Sent in  haste!!
