Did you get any rain late last night or early this morning? It really hammered down here for a good couple of hours. Nice and sunny now, but quite windy. :-)

[Sqad]

NoM...good morning. No rain at all last night and this morning the weather is fantastic 18degC.

Don't send your rain here ........please.

Hiya Sqad !!

I wonder where it's headed then? Tis very windy here, but I might venture down to the shopping centre (La Plaza Mayor) later and see how many more shops have closed down ! :-(

[Sqad]

NoM....I have heard that IVA is going up next June and Income Tax going up on January the first.

[NoMercy]

Now why doesn't that surprise me? The Guardia are more vigilant now. 105 euros if you are not wearing your seatbelt, and 105 euros for the driver !! Spain's going skint and they are trying to claw more money in.

Anyway... that wine you mentioned, where did you buy it? I have heard of it, and I have been struggling to find a decent Ribera del Duero lately.

[Sqad]

NoM....any good bodegas.

Condado de Haza 20006 crianza.

Protos ...crianza

Pesquiera ?sp...crianza

3 good Riberos.

[NoMercy]

I was unimpressed with the Pesquiera, but do like the Protos. I've tried the Reserva too. I'll pop into the Grau today and have a look, there's loads of good bodegas down there. Cheers hun. x

[Sqad]

NoM....to be honest, I can't tell a Reserva from a Crianza and one has to pay more.

[NoMercy]

Personally, I think the Crianza is better, smoother and not so harsh.

[Sqad]

I agree.........another thought.

Hachon crianza 2006

Cheers, Sqad. Try Prado Rey if you get the chance, but not the roble - it's too young.

[Sqad]

Will do NoM.
