Dominio de sexmil 2005

Dominio de Sexmil 2005

This is an expensive wine (around 28 eur). It does not offer a good quality price ratio. I didn't enjoyed it, and even less when I knew the price. I enjoyed more Gavión selección especial.
Probably this one is too mineral for me.

brochero finca monte concejo 15 meses de barrica

brochero finca monte concejo 15 meses de barrica

This is a correct wine from the same DO than Gavión. It does not reach the same level. Nevertheless, I am pretty sure that this area will reach a very high level in a short period of time. Worth to put an eye on it.

Gavión selección especial 2006

Gavión Selección especial 2006

There is life in Zamora beyond DO Toro. They produce good wine in Benavente area, but also in this new DO: tierra del vino de Zamora. I really enjoyed this wine. Worth to taste it. Unfortunatey, it has not arrive to Barcelona... yet.

Indicación Geográfica Protegida: Cecina de León

Indicación Geográfica Protegida: Cecina de León

This is a nice product. Quite similar to ham but different taste. stronger and less delicate. In fact, it is produced in a similar way than ham, but instead of pork, it is made from caw or horse. Normally caw, such as this one in the photograp.
It seems to be very a appreciated meal in Czech Republic, if it were available there...

Passatge Lluís Pellicer 13, Barcelona

they offer a fix price menu for 18,45 eur per person. Drinks are not included.
They offer a good quality price ratio. It's a good oportunity to taste something unusual. They provide high quality meals. Nevertheless, I felt that all the dishes were too sweet.

Val de Rance Cidre Bouché brut

Val de Rance Cidre Bouché brut

This is a good cider. Anyway, below my favourite one, upto now (see http://dalpescatore.blogspot.com/2009/02/cider.html). Maybe this one is more dry. Worth to mention it received a gold medal in Paris in 2002.
