A Lovely Day

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of giving my first tour of the vineyard to an old colleague and dear friend, Keith Stephens. He was in Madrid on business and was able make time to come out and visit us. We lucked out because it wasn´t as hot as it has been recently and the vines are absolutely beautiful this time of year.

Later, we met Oscar for dinner downtown at the Taberna del Capitán Alatriste where we sampled a variety of authentic Spanish dishes, including Spanish ham, a partridge pastry, Spanish migas, baked cod, buey, and a special pastry for dessert. On our way there, we had to make a stop at the Mesón del Champiñon for a delicious grilled mushroom tapa that is one of my favorites. While the food was outstanding, the company was by far the best part of the evening.
