Mas Codina at Vinisud

Here are the first of the Vinisud pictures, and they more or less represent where we began, a splendid feed at Le Vieux Four on the evening of our arrival notwithstanding.
Below is Toni Garriga from Mas Codina in Penedes, supplier to us of really great cava (brides: save your pennies - this is what you need for the reception); a white wine made from the cava grapes; and, now and again, a deep-coloured, sturdy rosé and a Cabernet Sauvignon that is more than able for very fine dining. After a good spell of trudging around Montpellier in the rain (I am finding it hard to convince anyone that three days' wine tasting in the South of France could have any downside, but that won't stop me aiming for a balanced account), it was restorative to start the fair off by meeting Toni and sampling the latest batch of the fizz.
