The November tasting was the second of our regular annual tastings at Ca La Iaia hosted by Jos\u00e9 who always finds the bodega, in this instance bodega Torell\u00f3, from DO Penedes.\u00a0\u00a0 President John Sloggie welcomed 61 members and guests to the tasting and introduced the speaker Paco Torell\u00f3 who is the owner of the bodega and who turned out to be an enthusiastic larger than life character. \u00a0\u00a0Bodega Torell\u00f3 is located on the Can Mart\u00ed estate which has belonged to the family since 1395, and Paco is the 23rd generation. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0They have been making wines since 1951 and we tasted two wines and three Cava\u2019s. \u00a0\u00a0The full report on the tasting is on the Society\u2019s web site and can be viewed by clicking on November Tasting.<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 The cost of each wine, where it can be purchased and average score given by members is shown in the list of wines tasted in 2016, which can be found by\u00a0clicking on\u00a0\u201cWines tasted in 2016\u201d.<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
