I was searching for Pesquera Tinto wine, wondering how prices for this lovely Spanish red wine compare – the answer is, the price ranges from CHF24 in Switzerland to $45 online in the US, which makes no sense.

My search took me to the Pesquera home page and – what a surprise – I found myself staring at me!

I’m in a photo with 14 other journalists (we look very jolly) at a dinner hosted by company founder Alejandro Fernández, who is standing next to me. What wonderful memories of a region I so enjoyed last November.

Here’s my own shot of him that evening. I’ll be tasting some fine Ribera del Duoro wines soon, in Geneva, and will write up my visit to the region in connection with the tasting session.
