On my birthday we went to dinner at a restaurant told me about co-workers, was very good but a bit expensive, well that's another story. That day my friends gave me as a gift, taking advantage of them would also make a visit to the cellar J. Miquel Jané for two people. Whenever there birthday gift you never know what to choose, is a dilemma, this was successful, at least for me, although my wife does not love the wine was fine with going out and spending a day outside, she points to a bombing if necessary.
We came for a house because we were just going in a car, 7 seats, as always had to wait just a little bit. We got bugger off to the Alt Penedes, stepping out in Vilafrafranca to Pacs, Viloví to Font Rubí. We arrived half an hour before and we asked who coordinated the visit if we had time to go to breakfast, there was no problem the people were nearby.
went back and to lose no time we got into the first bar and restaurant we saw, Cal Pau Xichen. I always get up and breakfast as soon as they welcomed us with churros to pick us up, but despite all the snacks and wine for the table roller, a good breakfast, take advantage of that as we were leaving the tasting later decided to ask the same table as we taste and seemed to look good to eat, we had to climb was getting late.
Once in the winery after separation by group presentation and showed us the vineyards, the guide put it all on your part but the cold and especially the air us to be a little absent explanation, but even so the minimum notions could assimilate.
Without almost questions with a desire to take refuge on a roof and be more warm went into the cellar, and told us we could see the development of various wines. It is a small winery but the visit was lengthened by a few curious questions already entered heat, but with the next part of the insurance program that we left over some clothes tasted.
made us enter a room where everything was half prepared for the tasting, there was a U-shaped tables with their drinks all accompanied by an appetizer. The winemaker gave us to try four different wines, white, pink and red crianza and reserve. I Galicia than wine I have not found any white that I call attention, like the pink but this I liked a lot, the reds were well on the whole reserve, are not the best I've tried, but explanations given to us of how open, serve and taste it over the pecking appetizer was good experience and we forgot the cold that we just now, we happy, never better.
Finally bought some wine and a chat with the guide, who happened to know the owner of a bodega in the neighborhood, a very knowledgeable and nice guy, we asked if he was okay the site we had chosen to eat, it seemed strange we found there site and we advise you to ask for lunch, we parted and we could not miss the group photo made.
When we Xichen Cal Pau, was packed, if I remember bad it was almost three, but our table had it ready. Most suggested we ask what the guide Xató salad first and second duck with the llosa others asked other salad, squid, beans and snails, the truth is that everyone ate very well, we finally offered a plate with carquiñolis and little balls of chocolate with dried fruit in a jug accompanied by little with muscatel and finally some shots, all on account of the house.
You might be wondering what all this because it?, Was not cheap, about 30 € per person, that if we left very full, the price depends on what ask and you want to spend, you already know.
If not in this to be another but my advice is, go out and do new things if the crisis allows us, because these are the memories that we take.
