Dao tonight. Probably my favourite region of Portugal. Jaen is the Portuguese name for Mencia. A very precise elegant wine and only 12.5%. Perfect for this warm weather @Blinderswine

Very enjoyable Piedmont tasting last night at Conlon's wine bar, Bray. Presented by Rory of @winelabireland My favourite was Gabriele Scadlione "Ellis" Langhe Bianco, a blend of Chardonnay and Arneis and amazingly 10 years old @Blinderswine

Dropped into Bodegas Bermejos #Lanzarote They're bottling their Malvasia Volcanico presently. Overall 2025 production will be approx 120K bottles, down from an average 450K. Hopefully after all the rain, a good Spring will have them back on track @Blinderswine @ADHalliwell

The sun has gone in but still enjoying a lovely Tapas lunch at the Charco. Peaceful too; no hordes passing through from any floating Gin Palace.

Last night were in local Restaurant El Golfo, run by same family for 53 years. Delicious food and this @BodegaBermejos Malvasia Volcanico 2025 was super intense, tropical fruits plus minerality (there was a drought in Lanzarote last year) @Blinderswine
