I first tasted the portfolio of Pago Los Balancines wines when attending Fenavin, Spain’s largest and best wine fair (in my view, and that of other commentators, it has surpassed Alimentaria, where I used to be a regular). I’m glad I went and I went away thinking, ‘must look out for these wines again’.
So, when I stopped for a cooling glass of white wine at La Trastienda, Jávea Pueblo’s excellent wine bar recently, I jumped at the chance to showcase the Balancines wines, paired with my friend Juan’s super-tasty dishes at a public tasting.
NB the next Fine Wine & Gourmet Dine Programme won’t be until Sunday August 13th on Total FM 91.8 and www.totalfm.es – I’m off to the UK to taste English Sparkling Wine!
