In Support of Local Wines!

Due to the fact that I am blessed to have groups here from Sweden with Milagro that want to try the Spanish wines, and are lucky to know the best teacher in Spanish wines, Colin Harkness. I have tasted a lot of them and I am amazed that there is so few restaurants that keep the local wines on the list. Think the restaurants here in Javea should promote more of the fantastic wines in the region, and there is a lot of them. Take for example Enrique Mendoza WineryPepe Mendoza Casa Agrícola or Juan PiquerasBodega Mustiguillo – DOP El Terrerazo as some of the bunch. There are so many just a step outside our walls…. Have you for example tasted the “orange wine”” WOW!!! It will be BIG!! Elisabeth Holmstöm

Wednesday 29th March

I’ve been able to arrange a super, short Day Trip, to visit Bodegas Enrique Mendoza en Alfaz del Pi. This leading Spanish, not just Alicante, Bodega has exemplary wines – and we’ll be tasting 6 of them, including one of the flagship wines, the Estrecho!

We have a tour of the facility, including the Crianza Room whose heady mix of oak and wine aromas is one of the best things about visiting a bodega! We taste the six wines, there will be  also be tapas, bread, cheese and sausage plus Mendoza Extra Virgin Olive Oil served, plus Valor chocolate served with the final wine, a delicious red dessert wine!

Then we go for a three course lunch locally, with wine, claro!

There will be the opportunity to buy, but no pressure to do so!

We should be back at around 6pm depending on your pick up/drop off place.

Pick up will be, depending as above, at around 10:30 hrs – so it’s not even a crack of dawn job!

The cost of all this is just 49€ per person!

Places are limited so please reserve as soon as possible – by e-mailing colin@colinharknessonwine.com or by calling/texting me on 629 388 159.

Gracias,

Colin
