Oh no just remembered an excellent bottle of Chatue du Beunne which was incredible, Now Kate, that's being Pijo. So you join the Pinot Noir club???? One of my best Spanish wines I drank with Jonathan as well. It was a VERY nice Rioja. We had to accept to wait ½ hour. If not, the wine waiter would not serve it. When there was two glasses left, he told us to wait with drinking those, and served us a very nice cake, intended to make the wine taste better. I've never aten cakes with expensive wine, but oh my. .... Delicious.

It's great to hear about those "best loved wines ". Many aficionados aqui...LOL! Actually (LOL!), I went to Barcelona , after having lived muchos meses en Madrid. I went to this place called "The Cheapest Restuarant in the World"! I read it from a book an American friend I knew showed me at the time. It was advertised in "Europe for $5 a Day", a handbook from the USA , which was a bit like the "Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy".. LOL! We went with these beautiful looking Scandanavian chicks who were also sorta "backpacking", except I always had a certain respectibility about me, that I'd never wear shorts and a T shirt and all the other stuff the travelling "suecos" (that's anybody up North!) would bring with them. I always wore proper trousers , a shirt and blazer as would be expected...though my hair was always down to my shoulders...LOL! Anyway, I went to this place in Barcelona that was called "The Cheapest Restaurant in The World". (With these two Scandanavian chicas!) It was like 15 pesetas for a three course meal (including wine). So we installed ourselves at a table and the waiter brought the menu. It was basically some Broth , a Salad and a Banana. The bit I remember about it most, is that the guy opened our mini bottles of wine... with a bottle opener rather than a corkscrew! The stuff tasted more like petrol (gasoline) than wine. I had tasted some pretty bad stuff in Spain, but this was another thing! I spat it out and called the Waiter. I said to him .... Hold on a minute....but este Vino está "corchada". "Corchada" was the only respectable word I knew, how to say that wine did not taste great... The guy almost fell on the floor laughing! "Corchada?" he said, and just fell about!l So at the least, I've contributed to somebody's happiness...LOL! In Madrid it was completelely different. Lots of little "family" restaurants up the back streets, where the food was fantastic and the friendliness really right on, really genuine... Beware of Barcelona....LOL! Lesson two....Try to look like a Gentleman and not like a Freak....! cheers Ron

Thanks for the info about Rhone wines! I had no idea they are summer wines. I've been drinking them year round! I would probably do so as well, if I had some. It's just a feeling I have. They are famous for being delicate to transport, especially the good ones. It's a typical on the place wine. Another good reason for going to lovely Provence. Thanks for the nice words about my website.
