It?s good to know that there are another contests and exhibitions for the wines! I haven?t gone to this one but it seems interesting especially because they present a rose wine category and I just love that kind of wine, so I hope to attend it this year! Thanks for the information, I?m going to research more about it
It sounds like Spain has a lot of wine exhibitions, I’d really like to take a trip there and do some wine testing and bike riding there. I’ve never been, but now after reading all these articles I really think I’d like to take a trip!! I love drinking wine, but I’m not anywhere near a wine guru, but I do love a good glass every now and then!
