Dear Members<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Shirley and I were sorry to miss the October tasting which we understand was an outstanding evening. Vice-President Paul Nicholls hosted the evening in my absence.\u00a0 He welcomed the 60 CBWS members and also Juan Jos\u00e9 from\u00a0Dehesa del Carrizal <\/strong>who would present his<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Pago Wines from the Toledo area of Spain.\u00a0 Whilst the CBWS had visited this area on the May 2016 Wine Trip it hadn\u2019t included a visit to their winery.\u00a0\u00a0 Juan Jos\u00e9 explained that the Dehesa del Carrizal estate is placed in the middle of the Montes de Toledo, near the Caba\u00f1eros National Park, between Tajo and Guadiana basins.\u00a0 It owes its success to the \u2018Terroir\u2019 \u2013 the genetic patrimony and combination of soils, climate and the human factor.\u00a0\u00a0 Dehesa del Carrizal<\/strong>\u00a0is a Vino de Pago, the highest category according to Spanish wine law. It is a DOP (Denominaci\u00f3n de Origen Protegida \u2013Protected Designation of Origin) reserved for those few wineries and vineyards which carry out the whole process \u2013from the grape to the bottle\u2013 within the limits of the Pago or estate. The unique location, soil and climate are the key to obtaining exceptional wines.\u00a0\u00a0 A full report on the tasting can be found on the web site under Wine Tastings or by clicking on \u201cOctober Tasting\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Autumn Wine Trip<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Autumn Wine Trip was held on 4\/5 October and visited Requena and three bodegas.\u00a0\u00a0 A full report of the trip by Joan Easter and a video prepared by Paul Nicholls can be found on the web site under Wine Trips or by clicking on \u201cAutumn Wine Trip\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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

An advance note that our December tasting (Thursday 8th December) will be held in the Javea Yacht Club. This is a new venue for the society and several of us have eaten there before and it is an excellent venue.\u00a0 If you wish to stay over the nearest Hotel is the J\u00e1vea Hotel in the Port area. They have offered a 5% discount if you quote CBWS. Their number is 965 795 461. I know 5% is not a lot but please ask for it as they will then know how many stay and Colin and Sue may be able to get better deal next time!<\/span><\/p>\n

On 2nd November at 12.00 Bodegas Bleda will once again be at Sol Park, Moraira selling their wines.\u00a0\u00a0 Full details can be found on the web site under Flash News or by clicking on \u201cBodegas Bleda\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
