Ricardo Madera and I will be visiting northern Spain to visit wine producers in Ribera del Duero and Rioja. Home base will be Burgos, and then we will tack on a few days in Madrid.
Anyone who happens to be in the area and would like to get together for dinner, wine, or other unspecified debauchery is invited to get in touch.

We were there a year ago... VS Unico!

I received a vey polite email from VS telling me that they don't do consumer visits. It's the most gracious turn-away I have ever received. Shows a bit of class.
Unfortunately, I'm not exactly friends with the VS distributor in our market, so that avenue won't work for me.

KCS02 was a help for us.

Email sent. Hopefully, you still use the same Hotmail account that I have in my address list from some years ago.
Planning this trip has been a bit of an eye-opener for me. I didn't realise how many high-end Spanish wines, from producers like Vina Sastre, Sierra Cantabria/Vinedos de Páganos, are available through the SAQ which I haven't seen in Ontario. Perhaps I've not been paying enough attention, but I think this should be an embarrassment for the LCBO. They aren't even in the game!

Do they carry any Bodegas Roda Cirsion?
Just one of the many wines we fell in love with while there last year. Unfortunately, somewhat hard to find overall.
