I can’t tell you how many times we have driven by Vara Winery and Distillery on Alameda in Albuquerque. I first heard about Vara Wine at High and Dry Brewing in Albuquerque. It was the only wine that was sold at that brewery. Since then I have found out that this winery is very well … Continue reading Vara Vinoteca in Santa Fe
Once again, I haven’t been to El Meson Restaurant in Santa Fe for years. When I think of tapas, I think of El Farol or La Boca. I had forgotten about El Meson. Going to the Santa Cafe reminded me of El Meson’s existence. I’m glad I was reminded because I would have been missing … Continue reading El Meson, Santa Fe, CLOSED
La Boca is the restaurant that made me want to go to Spain. Now, La Boca is the restaurant that reminds me of Spain. It is that authentic! I keep asking myself why don’t we go here more frequently. I have no idea why not(pandemic aside). If I lived closer, I would be there on … Continue reading La Boca, Santa Fe
We went out to a restaurant! We haven’t been to sit down at any restaurants in a long time. We decided that we would eat on the patio of El Farol. I haven’t been to El Farol in years. The new owners have done a nice job of making El Farol a place that we … Continue reading El Farol, Santa Fe
I love going to Talin Market. There used to be a small version in Santa Fe but it just didn’t make it. So it is worth the trip to Albuquerque. This place reminds me of a mini version of the food hall at Harrods or Marshall Field’s in Chicago or the old Stop and Shop … Continue reading Talin Market, International Food Fare Albuquerque
Today was our food tour of Barcelona with Food and Wine Tours. I booked this tour through Expedia. I find that in case something doesn’t work out I have the power of a big company behind me. It makes me feel a little more comfortable especially since the tour had been paid ahead of time. … Continue reading Barcelona Food Tour, Spain
We arrived early in the morning and took a bus tour of the incredible city of Barcelona. The architecture was mind blowing. Gaudi was a true visionary. He was so impressive that you really have to see his work in person. My camera doesn’t really do his work justice so I’m focusing on my food … Continue reading DOQ Bar and Restaurant at the Hotel Indigo, Barcelona, Spain
Cartagena, Spain Our next stop was Cartagena, Spain. There we explored a ruin of a Roman Theater that was just found in the 90s. Since it was hot and humid, we also explored a place to have lunch and something to drink. Ok, you can see that there are no guardrails on the steps down. … Continue reading Cartagena, Spain
As we continued our Spanish journey, we landed in the port city of Malaga. Our shore excursion was to the charming town of Mijas to visit the Museo de Vino (Wine Museum). Mijas is know for its donkey taxis. We had an interesting tour of this little town and stopped in at the miniature museum. … Continue reading Mijas Wine Museum, Spain
Our next stop was Cadiz, in Spain. We had a brief tour of Cadiz by bus then headed out to the city of Jerez to visit Bodega Tío Pepe. Tío Pepe is a sherry. Since I know very little about Spanish Sherry, I thought this would be an interesting experience. Sadly, I also have a … Continue reading Bodega Tio Pepe, Jerez Spain
