Champagne
Hi
Does anyone know the best place to get good champage in Puerto Pollensa ? Gx |
Ensenat in Pollensa town sell champagne and a range of very good wines.
|
Celebrating gia? Tell us more, we're a nosey lot :)
|
Why bother with champagne gia? get yourself down to Can Vidalet and pick up a bottle of local fizz (Methode Traditionel) direct from the vineyard
|
Totally agree Gommar Goffer. There are some fantastic cavas which are delicious.
|
I agree, why drink Champagne when you can drink Cava which is cheaper and better imho
|
Hi
Thanks for the replies. The idea of the champayne is cos it is for a big celebration. But the Cava sounds good. Can I get that locally at a supermarket of off license ? Gx |
Yes Gia, the supermarkets have a good selection.

Cava is nothing like champagne apart from the bubbles.The grape varieties used are also different ie chardonnay and pinot blanc being the two main varieties used to make champagne.Still fun to drink either though.Not so long ago people in Spain called there brandy cognac,again simply no comparison.
|
Yes - gone are the days of Spanish white burgundy etc!
Grape varieties for cava are usually Macabeo, Xarel-lo and Parellada with a little Chardonnay now permitted. |
Champagne Sangria
Talking of champagne............. On a previous visit we sampled champagne sangria and it was absolutely delicious and so refreshing on a hot day (you could drink it like pop!!! hic!!), does anybody know the recipe, whether it's made with the real stuff or perhaps cava or the likes?
C'mon Sparky, you have lots of contacts in the trade.;) |
LOL Whaley, this is a difficult one because the places that make their own sangria all use their own recipes which they keep very close to their chests. So i honestly don't know but if i did and i told you, i would have to kill you ;);).
Just for the record i don't drink the stuff. |
