Another early breakfast this morning, before we set off for the Torres Vineyard in nearby Pacs. The vineyard tour was all very swish, with multi media presentations and a train ride, a bit like Universal Studios, but frankly it was a little bit boring. The best bit was the tasting at the end (now there's a surprise - Ed) where, for a small charge, you could try any of the wines they make.
One of their single vineyard wines, Mas la Plana, was selling for over 50 euros per bottle. Given that I was never going to buy any, I decided not to be seduced and concentrated on finding something a bit more affordable.
After a couple of false starts, Jan and I settled on a tempranillo, Celeste, from one of their estates in Ribera del Duero. Job done.
