Thanksgiving, as I mentioned yesterday, is one of my favorite holidays. But since it is not a Spanish holiday, we will be celebrating over here on Saturday. But I did have the good fortune to spend the holiday this year with a couple of Americans: Payal and Sunitra joined me for a tour of the Penedes and cava wine region. At our first stop, our tour visited Mas Comtal, where we were given a wonderful 2 and a half hour visit through the vineyards and even had the chance to taste wine grapes and some figs from the fig tree! After tasting 4 of the different wines we stopped for a quick bite at a local restaurant, where we ate our fill before heading out one more time.
After lunch it was cava time, and Ernest was, as always, an obliging host at Rimarts. His explanations of the differences between the hand-crafted and industrialized cava systems highlighted just how unique their artisinal cavas are.
