- Spanish fruit in a good year holds enough character to be worth preserving without "oak". An old neutral barrel for storage is a different and practical matter, but "oak" is too...
- Great read Gabriella. Was hoping to go to the bloggers conference, but clashes with another trip. Regards, Lindsay

- Hey Bill, happy belated birthday from both of us! We're so sorry we couldn't have celebrated with you, but we'll make us for lost time at Christmas ;-)
- Agree with your thoughts on bottle aged wine. Just finished up my birthday dinner. One of the bottles was a '95 Ch. Lascombes. It's been in my cellar (wine closet) for 10 years or so. Funny...

You certainly made this Cava sound quite enticing. I have never had a higher end Cava before, mainly because nearly all of the wine stores that I shop at don't have any available.

Well, of course one of the nicest things about cavas is how inexpensive they are relative to other similar wines (not mentioning any names), and I actually love the fact that cavas ingeneral cost around 10-15, but yes, this is one to try!

I also think that Cavas are more accessible than many Champagnes. I have found a number of people who do not care for the yeasty taste of Champagne, but enjoy the more fruity flavor of a Cava.

He even pairs the Cava on many of his wine dinners. It certainly helps that most Cavas are relatively inexpensive, and good values.
