Bodegas Pingon

A couple of Saturdays ago, Bubble Brothers were in Morton's of Ranelagh, Dublin, to open a few bottles and meet the customers. Morton's fly the flag for us in Dublin by keeping a selection of our wines and also the very popular iKi beer. On this occasion, however, we were able to lend proceedings a Spanish flavour. We were joined by Enrique García, the ever-cheerful export manager of Bodegas Pingón, our suppliers in the Ribera del Duero in north central Spain. We've been working with the bodega for a good few years now, and although the confidently fruity, robust Tempranillos of the Ribera del Duero are no longer a novelty here, we're always glad of a chance to show people that there's rather more to Spanish reds than just Rioja. On the day, Enrique, along with MD of Bubble Brothers, Billy Forrester,

offered a selection of wines, but of course special prominence was given to Bodegas Pingon's Carramimbre brand, with both the semi-crianza Roble and the Crianza grades open for sampling. Sales on the day were brisk, and people were happy to take advantage of a special discount on the Carramimbre wines.
