More to come

Things are a bit slow this time of year, but not to worry I'm still here drinking Spanish wine.  i kicked the year off with a 40 wine  tasting yesterday afternoon, but the tasting pile is empty at the moment. I've got some new stuff on the way, plus a few cellar dwellers ready for [...]

New look

The site has had a few issues over the past couple of days, one of the key issues seems to be theme I've been using.  I have been developing a new over the last month or so.  Although I'm not happy with it yet, I've put it up as the site seems to work better [...]

Movember

I have joined up with the Boccaccio Movember team, so I will be growing a Mo this month.  I am taking next week off work, so I figure what better excuse to get hairy.  Here is the blurb:
Hi All,
During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I'll be growin a Mo. That's right I'm bringing [...]

Software Upgrade

Just a quick note to say that I’ve upgraded to the latest version of Wordpress over the last day. I think it went fairly well, but if you see something not quite right on the site (apart from the content!), just leave a comment here.
Thanks

Palate Strike

I've got a bad case of the flu at the moment, so there hasn't been a lot of drinking going on at casa Tinto y Blanco in the last week.  I've got a couple of notes of wines I tasted last weekend, so I'm posting these up in the mean time.  I should be back [...]

100 Tasting Notes

Clos Mogador 2003 was the 100th tasting note for Tinto y Blanco. So I'd like to thank everyone who has helped me put the site together, everyone who keeps on reading and especially the retailers, importers and producers who have sent wine in, had me along to tastings and chased up obscure bottles for me.  [...]

Cava week 2006

Trawling around the Spanish wine blogs this week discovered that it's officially Cava week this week.  I'd been planning on having a look at a couple of bottles of Cava around Melbourne cup, but I'll have to step up and find a couple this week. 
For the uninitiated, cava is Spanish sparkling wine and is made [...]
