Jack is the French son of a family of Spanish immigrants in Paris. Is 49 and 3 who lives in Madrid. It's in the wine business from all life and within the natural wine movement since its inception back in 1981 in France. It was "grosista" for 30 years, allowing it to be the star of a road movie where they tell the stories of the fathers of the first wine producers in France, as Marcel Lapierre and Philippe PACALET among others. Not to appoint people and adventures and somehow can not hide a quiet nostalgia for those days of wine, experiments and adventures. It is unconditional supporter of Le rouge et le blanc, the famous French publication on the natural wine that appeals to go telling you and showing you each of the vignerons who names; invetigador is a passion that shows each discovery you do as something that you can not do without in life.
Eating and Drinking in La cave du petit is an intense experience, the quality of products and wild attitude of the host, which is sometimes confused with a bad temper. Not so, I certify. It's a passionate man who loves what he does and what it sells and does not expect of others or of himself that we like everything in life. With respect, works in a very complicated job that combines serving the public while explaining a product that requires time and natural wine. But before opening a bottle to a customer, you notice that you're about to experience an intense experience, rare. I imagine him grumbling, of course, but I imagine forgiving him.
Cuisine his wife, whose name remains a mystery to me and not bad, and it does wonders. Aubergine patties with cheese, pates tubs of olives with mustard seeds, curry, pig ears which directly conetcan you with paradise and sweets ranging from pure chocolate to a warm apple tart, a bit of cold cream and a cookie made with lots of butter that you can lose the papers and look for reasons to repeat.
La cave du petit is the only shop and wine bar in Madrid and natural as Charles himself says we need more and more promotion, because there are curious wine lovers who want to know and drink more.
The media is increasingly showing interest in proposals how are you, wine lovers come so curious to find out more here and you come with the intention of taking something to surprise the father, a friend or an unbeliever. The average age of the guests of Charles is 35 years young Madrid are not wild wine lovers, he says, while discarding now empty bottle of liquor they bought a year ago when the place opened.
Because of its location we can think of is out tour and it's true, but this gives you the possibility after a big dinner, walking around quiet streets to allow time and space in our bodies for food and wine experience intense physical spiritual.

After the superb experience a late summer night in a Madrid hungrier than nostalgic autumn weather, I went to visit Carlos, this time with the intention to launch it as it is, in the wild, such as wines he loves, promotes, sells and communicates through sounds and gestures that make it totally personal and unique.
