How To Roll Up A Neckerchief

back home


yesterday returned from a 4-day express tour in Barcelona home. Barcelona is beautiful with the weather was not very good, the cultural program is limited the minimum necessary, postponing it, as usual, on the next visit, but fully walked on tapas and, of course, English wine.











accomplished my first LJ-shnaya "razvirtualizatsiya with wonderful spring_escape (among other things, Xenia studies now on oenologist), with which we are remarkably proaperitivilis Priorato in a tapas bar on the coast, and exchanged wine gift. I was more fortunate, arrived with a bottle of Nobile, and left with two, O Rosal Terras Gauda 2010 DO Rìas Baixas and Hoya de Cadenas Reserva Tempranillo 2006 Vicente Gandia DO Utiel Requena (in fact, gift bottles were three, but the beasts of Ryan Air is passed only 15kg of luggage and liquids in hand luggage are excluded).


Who is going to Barca, I share the wonderful magic adreskom restaurant in the center, "La Fonda" (Carrer Escudellers 10, next to Plaça Reial). To the best of elegant but not pretentious interior, service level, fine cuisine, excellent wine list (from somewhere 15 titles, but very deserving, in the price category of 10-15 euros per bottle.). I took Mencia de Dos 2008, DO Bierzo, very nice, gastronomichnoe, with bright fruit flavors and a pleasant minerality on the palate, the duck thigh baked with apples, raisins and pine nuts went well. Prices for all the fun below average.
