Tuesday Last presented in Libroscocina , title Sherry, whose index, I selected three wineries: Barbadillo, Domecq and Osborne.
Antonio, besides friend is practically the only one who does not miss blog entry, I made a comment, economically as usual, mentioning his preference for Barbadillo.
In my workplace, located in tourist area, the Castillo de San Diego embodied many years -10, 15 - to the wine list, forced by the great public demand. Recall that in the past, apart from some local white wine was the classic dry white Monopole. Wine by the way, is recovering today.
Well, at the insistence demand, and, once listed, with awe to the success of this brand, without being rioja or wheel or penedés , being of Jerez, but without being a Jerez, sold like wildfire. Naturally, we tried the wine-matter of personal prejudice, we are not excited. We marveled at the success of this wine that, today, is among three or four best sellers in a place like ours, with a white wine-site higher consumption of fish, shellfish and rice-sixty or seventy references, including Albariño, wheels and other targets today.
Another curiosity is the name: Castillo de San Diego .
customers asked us Barbadillo, and to serve him, wondering why we did not have the wine list. Amazed, I teach them the list where they appear white, grouped by denomination of origin:
| CÁDIZ Castillo de San Diego, 10 € Bodegas Barbadillo |
| |
| |
"Oh, no. We want Barbadillo, "was the answer.
Finally we had to change, and now looks like this:
| Cadiz Barbadillo, 10 € Castillo de San Diego, House Barbadilo |
| |
Coinciding with these comments, has appeared on the table a small magazine called BARBADILLO , getting me encourage you to review the issue. The magazine, which is very well-made, we are surprised when we discover that we to an extraordinary company that besides Barbadillo, has:
The Cellar Vera Real with wines from Ribera del Duero .
wonder this image appears in the journal-Barbadillo - of Casa Balbino , with the headline:
"I wish there were more companies like Barbadillo"
