On Halloween 31/10 we are welcoming Diego from La Senda and Fernando from Otros Vinos for a winemakers visit at Isca. Drop by from 6pm to try his wines. Food from the region is typically meat stews, game and wood roasted vegetables, we’ll be designing a menu to go alongside Diego’s wines.
Diego, born and raised in Ponferrada, Bierzo, is a self labelled “radical” and “anarchist” of sorts. When he was 16 years old he formed a heavy metal band with his school mates. For Diego, music was pure and uncompromised, an honest and creative way to express himself and the frustrations that he had with mainstream society and the leash that is places upon us. After years working for other conventional winemakers Diego decided to break free and in 2012 he set up Bodega La Senda in a tiny space on the outskirts of his hometown in Ponferrada. There he resolved to implement the same philosophy from his music into winemaking to produce wines that are honest, uncompromising and naturally expressive.
We have just tasted his new arrivals and everything was tasting great. Bookings are open or just pop by for a glass. This event will be a warm up to our wine fair at Where the Light Gets In on 2/11. If you would like to get to know Diego and his wines in a more intimate setting before the fair please do join us.
