Photos from a recent wine trip to La Mancha in Spain. La Mancha is actually the largest wine producing region in the world.

Amparo and Kojak received us in their beautiful home in the town of Pedro Munoz. This is the region of Spain that produced the well known "Don Quixote" Novel by Miguel de Cervantes.

For the aperitif we were treated to a magnificent Iberico Ham accompanied by a delicious bottle of "Herve Mathelin" Champagne.
We then settled into a wonderful meal followed by a very copious serving of aged Brandy.

Kojak produced a very tasty "Sobaos" cake following breakfast the next morning. The Sobaos cake is a specialty from the north of Spain and the main ingredients are butter, sugar, eggs, flour and yeast.

The perfect start to our day of wine tasting.

cheers, Paddy
