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

51 Members and guests assembled at Ca La Iaia for the April tasting given by Bodegas Enrique Mendoza, DO Alicante.\u00a0 The winery was established \u00a0at the end of the 70\u2019s, when Enrique Mendoza became extremely interested in the world of wine. Today that start has been transformed into two wineries, one for the ageing and bottling of the wine in Alfaz del Pi, from which their wines are positioned in the national and international markets and a second one in Villena( \u201cFinca El Chaconero\u201d), close to the \u201c Virgen de las Virtudes\u201d sanctuary.\u00a0\u00a0 I introduced the speaker Cristian Casta\u00f1eyra who is the oenologist at the bodega, and also welcomed Enrique who was attending the tasting.\u00a0\u00a0 A more detailed report on the tasting can be found on the web site under Tastings \u2013 Recent Tastings or by clicking on\u00a0April Tasting.<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

35 Members will be departing on 30th<\/sup> April for the main wine trip of the year, which this year is going to the DO of Rueda and Toro.\u00a0\u00a0 The group are staying in Tordesillas which is a town and\u00a0municipality\u00a0in the\u00a0province of Valladolid,\u00a0Castile and Le\u00f3n.\u00a0\u00a0 They will be away for 5 days during which they will visit 7 bodegas, enjoy two group dinners and visit the Convent of Santa Clara.\u00a0\u00a0 A full report on the trip will be put on the web site after their return.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

The May tasting will take place on May 17th<\/sup> at\u00a0Punta Negra,\u00a0MR Les Rotes, Denia, <\/strong>when the speaker will be Nani Ramon from Bodega\u00a0Edet\u00e0ria.\u00a0 You will recall we visited this bodega on last year\u2019s May wine trip.\u00a0\u00a0 This rather boutique bodega claims to be the \u201cwinery of reference in Terra Alta\u201d. Historical references to vineyards in the region date from 1185 when Count Ram\u00f3n Berenguer IV ordered the area to be replanted with vines. Archaeological finds, however, suggest they existed in the Iberian Pre-Roman tribes.\u00a0\u00a0 It should be an interesting tasting.<\/span><\/p>\n
