More information on of Madrid flavors
Vinos de Madrid is the DO (Denominación de Origen) title that covers the vineyards around Madrid, the capital of Spain. Located in the heart of the country, Madrid is the second largest city in the European Union. It offers its millions of visitors elaborate architecture, art galleries, a vibrant nightlife and a multitude of fine restaurants that often feature local wines. The sprawling metropolis and the towering Sierra de Guadarrama mountains to the North confine the vineyards to the southeast and southwest corners of the autonomous community of Madrid.
The Vinos de Madrid appellation covers three delimited wine-growing sub-regions, each with its own Particular characteristics. It was granted the coveted DO status in 1990 and a Consejo Regulador (wine authority) was created. Although the region has undoubtedly gained in popularity in recent decades (thanks in part to the efforts of local producers and the popularity of the local Garnacha), this was not the case before. Nevertheless, wine making in this region dates back to at least the 8th century and may well have been introduced by the Romans, or even the Carthaginians before them.

Best Cognacs for Christmas 2021
If a good Cognac isn’t just for Christmas, it isn’t only for after-dinner sipping either. A top-quality VS or VSOP is also an excellent base for a refreshing aperitif or a palate-sharpening cocktail. You can keep it simple with ice and tonic, dial up the flavour with ginger ale – or move into more sophisticated territory by mixing a zesty Sidecar or twisted Manhattan. Hell, if you’re feeling flush, use an XO to create hedonistically rich and decadent Vieux Carré. Whether you’re buying for a love ...
