I really love Xampany/Champán/Champaña, underrated and underpriced IMO! I do try and seek out the smaller guys but this is not so easy! Everywhere is awash with the F-word and the C-word ;-) Loving the Conde de Haro from Muga too. Have been enjoying the Dominio de la Vega Reserva Especial 2018 (another non-Penedes sparkler from Utiel Requena this time)which I found in Jeroboams. Now that was a tasty little number :-) albeit at £24.75 a bottle but it was class in a glass. Need to get hold of some Gramona...the search for top notch Champaña continues....

Interesting read. One of my resolutions this year is to seek out decent cava. Already had the Bolet Gran Reserva which is great value

Heh. Was actually trying to email you directly but didn't see one in your about and you don't seem to have the DM thing enabled yet (which I can't fault you for not doing).

I’ll have to investigate the DM option but I’m at andyneather@outlook.com

Fascinating, I had no idea about any of this. Will be upping my Cava game from now on.
