Wine Appreciation – Thursday WAGS – 5th November 2026 Bulletin

Report by Karen Brown, Photos by Steve Young

This month Penny Grant presented us all with a great selection of white wines from Rueda and interesting reds from Ribero del Duero.

Penny started with a Blume white Verdejo selection, which was fresh and aromatic. The following white Marques de Riscal 100% Verdejo was vibrant and fruity.

The red wines from Ribero del Duero followed, starting with the Dehesas Viejas Crianza 100% Tempranillo, a dark fruity red. We then enjoyed another Tempranillo, a Valderiviero Roble which was smooth and balanced.

The final wine was a great change to the normality as it was an excellent pairing with the selection of cheese and grapes. It was a delicious white wine Nicte Verdejo, a crisp, medium bodied, enjoyable wine, a favourite of many.

The wines were accompanied with a great selection of dishes prepared by Elizabeth and her team.

After our meal we all raised a glass and bid farewell to Yvonne Gray as it was her last Thursday WAGS before she leaves Spain. We wished her well and hopefully we’ll see her again in Jávea soon 🥂

The afternoon concluded with the usual raffle and 5 happy winners walked away with their favourite wines of the day.

Our thanks go out to Penny on a fabulous presentation and to Steve Young, our very own top-notch photographer.

We are already looking forward to our next meeting, which will be our festive Christmas lunch on Thursday 3rd December at Cala Brisa 🧑‍🎄🎅 🎄 🥂🍷🎉

With warmest regards,

Karen and Mark 🤗
