Over the Easter

Well last week was really something. Every night they came and every night they ate and drank their fill. This is the kind of thing that we (and Galway) really need. I don't know if it was the teachers meeting on in NUIG or whether it was just the Easter Holidays. We sold buckets loads of Duck and plum and Venison sausages, but we also sold plenty of the old favorites like Tortilla and Patatas Bravas.

I suppose this week will be a but quieter as the good weather seems to send them all out to Salthill. But we do get a few back in town around 8 for some Tapas and Wine.

Wine to Try: we have a new wine from Campo de Borja. I've attached some information below.

Campo de Borja is a Spanish Denominación de Origen (DO) for wines located in the northeast of the province of Zaragoza (Aragon, Spain). It is a transition zone between the plains of the River Ebro and the mountains of the Sistema Ibérico. The DO comprises 16 municipalities. The Moncayo mountain is the dominant feature of the DO and creates a microclimate which gives the wines a special character.

Authorized red grapes: Garnacha & Tempranillo (two typical Spanish grapes) Mazuela, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah (used all around the world for red wine making)

Authorised white grapes: Macabeo & Moscatel (two grapes that are used for making cava and sherry)


That's all for now.
