Bar La Espumosa

Located on Glorieta de Pintor Sorolla in Madrid Bar La Espumosa has become a post lockdown favourite. Firstly because it's a champagne bar and we wanted to celebrate our freedom. Secondly because it has a large Terraza that allows social distancing even for groups. The food is pretty good as well. Everything is made with … Continue reading Bar La Espumosa →

Dans Le Noir

Normally in the 'Where In Madrid' section I write up wine bars and shops where you can taste a selection of wines. This is a little different. Dans Le Noir is a restaurant with just two wines offered, but it is definitely a tasting experience. Because at Dans le Noir everything is served in the … Continue reading Dans Le Noir →

DOC Enoteca Italiana

One of the great things about living in Madrid is the plethora of wine tastings available here. I could be out every night and have to stop myself for the sake of my liver. Most of the tastings I go to are of Spanish wines. We are after all in Spain and there are 70 … Continue reading DOC Enoteca Italiana →

Last month I went to an Italian Wine Tasting organised by Club De Vinos Madrid. This group is run off Meet-up and arranges monthly wine tastings at various wine bars around Madrid.
