Presidenta de Marqués de Cáceres “El eje es la calidad, éste es nuestro patrimonio y es un valor atemporal” Marqués de Cáceres is, once more, one of the most admired wine brands in the world in the ranking compiled by the independent consultancy Drinks International. “For us, it is an encouragement, not an end in itself. We have to constantly evolve in a world as fastchanging as the one we now live in”, says its CEO, Cristina Forner (Born in Aignan-sur-Cher, France, in 1953). This is not a woman who conforms. Every accolade that comes the winery's way is a motivation and an incentive to do something new. She learned about refinement, quality, respect, value and image as a marketing manager in Bordeaux, at the start of her career, in…

DIARIO DE UN SUMILLER, MOSCATEL A SOMMELIER DIARY'S, MUSCAT Moscatel @DiariSommelier @diarisommelier.cat Muscat is one of the most approachable grape varieties around. I make this assertion based on the simple fact that this varietal is mostly known for its sweet wines. And it is these sweet wines that we even let some of the youngest members of the family sip on special occasions. The way into wine drinking is generally through sweet wines and these, of course, are often made from this varietal. On the nose, the Muscat wine is full of aromas of white fruit, stone fruit and even tropical fruit, which can also be complemented by floral notes. On the palote, the Muscat wine is both subtle and pleasant. In Spain, you can find this varietal throughout the Levante area…

JUVE & CAMPS If we were to state that Juvé Camps is one of the best wineries in the world of cava today, we would not be wrong! Our claim is supported by all the work they have been doing over the years as well as the fact that they are always at the cutting edge of progress and technology. The history of this winery begins more than 200 years ago when Joan Juvé Mir founded what today has become one of the most celebrated wineries in Spain. In 1921, the founder's grandson, Joan, married Teresa Camps Ferrer and together they built an underground cellar in the family home in Sant Sadurní d'Anoia in order to create their first sparkling wine. Today the business is located in Es piells in…

DESTILADOS MARIA DE LA PEÑA @MariaDelaPenya @bymariadelapena ¿DESTILADOS Y CHOCOLATE? Por supuesto! Aprende a maridar correctamente Now that Christmas holydays are approaching and meals are getting longer, what would be better than to surprise our guests with exceptional pairings? However, let's divide them into groups, since each spirit has its own characteristics. Ahora que se acercan las comidas navideñas y que las sobremesas se alargan, qué mejor que sorprender a nuestros comensales con maridajes de excepción? Aun asi, vayamos por partes ya que cada destilado tiene sus características. WITH WHISKY: The main issue when pairing chocolate with whisky is to find the right balance.
