So, here I am in a rather quaint Casa Rural, five minutes from Bullas, preparing for this evening’s entertainment, prior to judging tomorrow’s DO Bullas Annual Wine Competition. I’m looking forward to it immensely.
The Casa Rural above is one of the member Hotels/Casas Rurales in the DO Bullas Ruta del Vinos @RutaVinoBullas and the bucolic, converted water mill is atmospheric and comfortable.
Tonight there is a wine tasting where invitees will be able to sample an array of quality wines from all the producers operating under the auspices of DO Bullas, as well as having the opportunity to chat with winemakers. It will be held 5 minutes away from where I’m staying, in the Museo del Vino, which is the most pro-active, dynamic Wine Museum I’ve come across here in Spain. Bravo!
I was disappointed to note that in Dia Supermarket opposite the Museum I could not see a single DO Bullas wine, and this in the heart of Bullas! Shame on you Supermercados Dia! There are some excellent wines made here, across the full price spectrum so there really is no excuse! Local wines deserve representation!
As I’m judging in the morning I’ll need to keep a clear head tonight, so I should be back at the Casa Rural in time to add to this on-going blog. We’ll see!
