La Rioja (panorama)

Here’s a panorama stitched together from three photos taken by the Nikon Z9, Nikkor Z 35mm 1.8 S.

All those vineyards and the distant hills are mighty inviting.

Bodega Ysios

A view from the tasting room at Bodega Ysios in Laguardia, Spain.

The view is beautiful, the wine delicious, and the company interesting. Good to linger here and enjoy it all. (Nikon D850, Nikkor 17-35mm 2.8D)

Cantina dei Papi, Rome

Cantina dei Papi has a few locations in Rome. I stopped in to the one in the Trastevere neighborhood for a snack while in the city.

El Bernardino, Segovia, return…

I’ve been to El Bernardino in Segovia, Spain, many times. It’s a popular restaurant, but don’t let that bother you. Simply go a little earlier than the usual meal time. You’ll have a seat, great service, and darn good food.

DSC_2897Of course, they do a delicious cochinillo here, have a great wine list, but don’t miss the ponche segoviano dessert seen below:

IMG_1841The dessert is worth a stop here. I did mention the wine, and here’s a tasty bottle you can find most anywhere.

IMG_1840The albariƱo wine goes with many things. Enjoy every meal. Take your time, too!
