Traveling to Spain with Len (The Wine Tutor) Gulino through pictures

Our Wine school teacher, Len Gulino is currently brushing up on Spain for our upcoming fall semester and what better way to do it than spending some time face to face with some of the country's winemakers and taking in their prospective on what they do so well. 

You will see that len not only enjoys the wines but also the food and culture that is attached to it. We are confident that looking through his experiences will motivate some of our followers to start planning their own visit. i know we are!

-Cheers!

Bodegas La Gitana in San Lucar, one of the 3 sherry triangle towns.  U.S. marketing manager, Miquel, is drawing 30 year Amontillado sherry from a barrel with the age old tool called a venecia, and then pouring into the glass.
