Lunch in Toledo










Pictures taken of Toledo en route to Bodegas Del Saz yesterday.

We stopped for lunch and had the most beautifully prepared, incredibly flavorsome, wild boar burgers, you can possibly imagine.

Met with our suppliers for dinner and again had beautifully prepared local food, accompanied by many delicious wines, in a very ordinary restaurant. The baby lamb for our main course was absolutely mouthwatering. We were lucky to escape back to the hotel at around 3.30am; Vidal Del Saz, the owner of the winery, was only just warming up when we left.

Off to meet with another of our suppliers this evening, "Bodegas Ovidio". The owner of the winery, Angel, and his wife Amparo, also know how to party; it promises to be another late, and very well oiled, night for Pi and I. Angel, better known as Kojak, perhaps due to his lack of hair and robust Latin features, produces incredible wines in the "La Mancha" region of Spain.

We plan on journeying back to Bordeaux sometime tomorrow!

cheers, Paddy
