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

On the 18th<\/sup> January, following the AGM at Restaurante La Senia, Denia 64 members tasted my choice of 5 wines for our first tasting of the year. I chose to present 5 wines from 2 bodegas in Mallorca one of which the Society had visited on its Wine Trip to Mallorca in 2012; Bodegas Ribas located in the village of Consell, which has been making wine for over 300 years. A high percentage of the Mallorcan grape varieties\u00a0Manto Negro and Prensal are grown here in accordance with the family tradition.\u00a0 \u00a0The second Bodega was Bodegas 4 Kilos Vin\u00edcola.\u00a0 \u00a04 Kilos does not have its own vineyard, but buys the grapes from local growers. Wine expert Francisco Grimalt participates and supervises each step of production, thus determining the quality of the product. He has been described as the hippie winemaker with a soul.\u00a0 A more detailed report on the tasting can be found on the web site under Tastings \u2013 Recent Tastings or by clicking on January Tasting.<\/span><\/a>\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 2018, which can be found by\u00a0clicking on\u00a0Wines Tasted in 2018<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
