D.O. Original
AnitaHello!
From this week onwards I am officially a member of the “Friends of Wine Club”. I learnt of this club through Javier, the sommelier of the school who prepares some incredible wine tasting sessions for us at Camino Barcelona. 
The club is held in a bar/ restaurant in Raval in the square in front of the famous MACBA museum: it is called D.O. Original and wines are its speciality. Every Tuesday they organise an activity such as; a presentation of wine cellars and their wines, a wine tasting session, “una cena con maridaje” which is a meal “of marriage” where the food and wine are chosen to complement each other perfectly. They also organise a blind wine tasting experience or they explore the best wines from a region of Spain.
I love the experience! Every Tuesday you pay for the activity if you are a member or if somebody invites you along. If you tell me that you would like to come, I will invite you myself!
There is something like 50 wine lovers in the club that feel reverence for the ancestral liquid. As for me, I love the wine culture and one of my passions is to go on small trips around Spain to get to know areas of wine with Denomination of Origen, so you can imagine my delight at joining this club.
If you like wine, I would love it if you would participate in our wine tasting sessions with the school, they are always stupendous! You can learn the basics to begin to appreciate a good Spanish wine with the charming Javier, and enjoy his tapas and handy tips too!!
If that’s not enough, there is a huge amount of “Vinotecas” (specialist wine bars/shops) all over the city that will advise you on the best wine to buy…maybe you were wondering what to take home for your Mum?!
See you later!
Anita
