Rioja Wine Festival
Just back from the Rioja Wine Festival in Spain where, apart from sampling the delicious Gran Reservas, I had a trip in a balloon over the vineyards, had numerous wine tastings, visited a barrel making factory (I know it sounds boring, but it was fascinating), and spent a most enjoyable half day in the wine museum. Capital of the region is Logrono, a lesser known part of Spain, but with easy transport to Bilbao via boat and 'plane, it makes it ideal for a week-end break. Apart from gourmet restaurants, Logrono is about the best place in Spain for tapas, one street there is reckoned to have about 100 bars serving tapas.

"A stocky women in a floppy Credit Agricole hat and a smile that attests to a lifetime of poor dental hygiene, Marthe, the digger in truffle parlance, pursues Kiki through the woods behind her farm like a peasant farmer dominatrix in a grubby apron."

David Atkinson, VOYAGER MAGAZINE, "Welcome to Truffle Country", published March 2006
