Overshadowed by…read morethe Jerez Sherry regions, the Montilla-Moriles produces A complex sweet, delicious wine with an earthy raisin flavor profile. Enjoyed by itself or poured over vanilla ice cream, it's joy in syrup form. Alvear is a premier producer for this excellent wine. In the grand scheme of things, for something so tasty it doesnt cost much at all.

While staying in Ronda on holiday, the hotel staff recommended we visit the winery. To be honest at…read morethe beginning I was skeptical, thinking it was probably going to be "sell" job. How wrong I was. To start with the fact that the winery owner was the one that personally came to pick us up at the hotel. On the way to the destination he was very friendly and informative on the area. Upon our arrival we met our guide Juan, I must say this young man was an encyclopedia of knowledge and was extremely thorough on his explanation from the beginning to the end of the wine making process. Although it was just myself and my wife on the tour, they gave us the full, detailed tour. Needless to say, this made us feel very special. The views are breathtaking and the wines delicious. We ended up buying some bottles, not due to pressure but because of the amazing organic wines. A must do while in Ronda.

This was the second stop on our Malaga food tour. Wednesday night around 7 they were packed and…read moreloud. A good mix of Tourists and Locals. They make their own Malaga Sweet Wine. (From the Moscatos and Pedro Ximenez Grapes). You can also get a Semi-Sweet or Dry. We had a mix of orders. I went for the Semi-Sweet and it was quite sweet. 20% ABV so made for sipping. Vermouth is also available. For Tapas, we had Tuna Tartare and Cheese Skewers which were delicious. The Spiced Pepper started out mild and had a spicy finish. Service was quick and friendly. A must stop Bodega (oldest in Malaga) for the House-made Wine and local Bar/flavor experience. Salud!

A mix of tables and seating with mostly high top and a small Outdoor seating area. They have a private Dining room and a group was having their Holiday Dinner. We were here for dessert but they have a full menu -Meat, Fish and Spanish fare. They also offer Tasting Menus with Wine Pairings. We started with a Cava. Lighter body-and all enjoyed it. Pistachio Cheesecake was Dessert-I've had all types of Cheesecake but this was a first. Pistachio flavors were subtle but they were definitely present. Light and nicely balanced and not too sweet-Delicious! Service was engaged and friendly. Versatile spot with a retail area that would be great for a Drink or a multiple course meal with plenty of Pairing options.

Wife orders a salad and ceviche for dinner -- two appetizers, because apparently tonight she's…read moreliving dangerously. I go civilized: Squash and Scallop soup, and some lamb chops. The server asks if I want potatoes or vegetables with the lamb. I say veggies, because I'm an adult who occasionally makes good choices. First course shows up -- soup's fine, nobody dies. Then they bring out the ceviche, slap it down between us like we're supposed to fight for it. We explain, no, genius, that's her meal. He apologizes, like a man who just realized he forgot to put the main course on the grill -- because, spoiler alert, he forgot to put the main course on the grill. Thirty minutes later (because why rush?), the lamb chops finally appear. Well, technically they appear -- what actually lands on my plate are three sad grey meat Frisbees. No pink. No juice. Just pure, well-done sadness you could resole boots with. And because it's amateur hour, he brings potatoes. Not veggies. Potatoes. I tell him -- again -- that I ordered veggies. He scurries off and brings some broccoli or whatever, which I gnaw on like a prisoner desperate to get paroled. So, to recap: after a long meal and spectacularly bad service, I leave having consumed soup and vegetables. No lamb. They didn't charge me for the inedible lamb chops -- thanks, heroes -- but they did charge me for the French fries I didn't order and sure as hell didn't eat. Five-star experience all around. Can't wait to never go back.
