I was invited by Franco and Luisa from Bodegas Mento. I went to Tudela de Duero to enjoy various events that la Asociación Cultural los Aguilas organized. Among various activities they included a popular wine tasting of Tudela de Duero wines. In this town there are no less than 14 wineries.

There were present the following wineries (I hope not to leave anyone out).

Bodega Társila
Leda Winery
Bodegas Mauro
Bodegas Torinos
Bodegas Finca Vaqueros tinto I’Corus, tinto Solterius “
Bodegas y Viñedos Mento
Carlos Ernesto, Pepino y David.
Tomas Belloso
Rafael Belloso
Peña NO NOS MOVERAN
David San José LA BODEGA
Rafa

Then we took a walk through the village, we visited the art shop that Bodegas Mento has in town, and later we went to dinner at the facilities that la Asociación Cultural los Aguilas have in town.

They showed to us the building of La Asociación. And then they invited us to dinner.

I note several points:

1) The involvement of all the wineries in sponsoring the event. All of them showed that they feel committed to the events taking place in their town.

2) The know-how of the wine makers zone. It was a great pleasure to be tasting their wines being intermingled with them in a village atmosphere. Each one of them counting the problems and the peculiarities of its own wine, and everything in Tudela de Duero´s main place, just in front of a very nice and old church.

3) They know how to have fun in Tudela. What guys! There were kids and very elderly people with something in common. Fun.

4) How tremendously welcoming are in Tudela de Duero. We could see it directly.

5) The personality of Tudela wines. A very strong personality. Once you taste them, you never forget them.

6) The magnificent facilities that la Asociación Cultural los Aguilas have in Tudela.

I am all the time saying, that knowing is the way to loving. The Tudela wineries know about it. And there were there, inviting to taste their best wines.

It was a pity I has to go to sleep that night before the feast ended, because I had to leave early in the morning (they were making quite an spectacular and noisy feast).

Thank you very much to everybody. And mainly to Bodegas Mento. Because of them we spent in Tudela a very, very nice time.
