Tinto y Blanco- Adventures in Spanish Wine

Telmo Rodríguez Dehesa Gago ‘G’ 2006

By Dave Worthington ⋅ July 30, 2007 ⋅ 2 comments

I've had a bit of a cold the last few days, but I've got a few notes up my sleeve from earlier in the week. Its good to see a wine label with a bit of truth to it. The Dehesa Gago front label usually has a bit of a tale about the vintage, this [...]

Cillar de Silos Torresilo 2004

By Dave Worthington ⋅ July 19, 2007 ⋅ 4 comments

So on to the 2004. I often wonder how usefull side by side tastings are, but this one was quite informative. The problem is that while the wines are not too far apart in age (1 year) how much of a difference does that make compared to the vintage? Most of the time, not much [...]

We're doing a spot of renovating at Casa Tinto y Blanco at the moment, so I haven't been drinking much this week. We've had a couple of disasters as well, so I decided to open something to wash away the past week with. And what better than a 2004 Priorat to help you forget the [...]

A year ago today, I made the first public post on Tinto y Blanco. It really does't feel like I've been doing it for a year, more like three months or 3 years. Anyway, it seems that people are still reading, so I'll keep posting. Here are some stats on the past year: In July [...]
