From August through October is the harvest takes place, is reaping the fruits with which we hope will make the wines and we will discover, is a unique, delicate, liturgical star wine producers and their fans. Must be many people these days are gone from vintage to experience what it means to have their hands in the dough, gently cut each bunch, feel with the fingertips sacred fruit peels. Others we were immersed in our urban lives. We as the tango says the cream to the glass, looking out the privileged to actually touch the glory.
But there are those who know we are here in the sweet hope, to see how they are the creatures who want to be as close as possible to the moment of creation. They think of us and we propose two complementary plans, fun, enourbanos.

And what I like is that we promise that there will be people of the wineries know their wines as if they had been delivered and who will tell us stories of his creations, and attend to all our questions.
The ticket is 12 euros. Tasting them, you keep the cup and put something in the tummy to be pleasant tasting.
The event logísitica is very simple yet you will tour the Boqueria market is a divine glory somewhat battered lately.
I admit that when I suffer a little. Tourists are many, go slow, take pictures and everything is much bigger than me. But I adapt, I have friends in the stalls and buy the best products until they stop to chat with my fellow stallholders. My favorites are The Barratxina meat, fruit and vegetable Neguit Cal for a ham that is death Guinart House wines and of course the Celler de la Boqueria.
Plan 2: Zev Robinson , an artist who expresses himself on a variety of languages, presented on Wednesday 16 in Citilab his documentary "La Bobal and other stories of wine" . Robinson is a Canadian-born British living in Spain for some years, where he settled looking for tranquility and proximity to the Mediterranean. When I met him at the London Wine Fair told me I was doing a documentary series about the world of wine and we are now inviting the submission of the Bobal variety native to Utiel-Requena of their producers feel quite proud .
The next 16 with the sponsor wineskin presents his documentary into a space which Opaz Ryan had told me with great interest. Certainly meet is the place to present new forms of communication of the wine.
After the movie you can taste wines from Bobal variety of Bodegas Torroja, Ardal Finca, Finca Sandoval, Payment Tharsys, Vera Trail Estenas and Real. Admission is free but you must sign in http://bobal.eventbrite.com/
