June <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Welcome to our June Newsletter<\/span><\/p>\n

May Tasting<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

66 members and guests attended the ever popular venue of Restaurant Puente Negre in Denia.. Colin and Sue, the Menus and Venues team had prepared another great night, working with the hotel\u2019s team. As always, Constantinos, the restaurant manager, and his staff looked after us well.\u00a0\u00a0 As I was away, Vice President Paul Nicholls deputized for me as host for the night.\u00a0\u00a0 All the wines we tasted were from our friends at Bodegas Barahonda (www.barahonda.com). The wines were well presented (in English) by Sandra Puche Carpena who is from the tourism department of the company.\u00a0\u00a0 A full report on the evening\u2019s tasting can be found by clicking on \u201cWine Tasting at Punta Negre\u201d.<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Bodegas Bleda<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Bodegas Bleda will be at parking at the Solpark Tennis Club on June the 2nd at 12.00.\u00a0\u00a0 The Bodega is one that is popular with members and has been visited by us.\u00a0\u00a0 As is usual, they are offering their traditional wines of the Castillo de Jumilla variety and their modern line, Pino Doncel. They recommend their Castillo de Jumilla Blanco 2015, Castillo de Jumilla Rosado 2015 and Pino Doncel Sauvignon Blanc 2015; all of them are very refreshing for summer time.\u00a0\u00a0Of\u00a0course they have all their red wines which are\u00a0very fruity wines, and some with a touch of wood.<\/span><\/p>\n
