A bit of Spanish champagne and cheese

Mont Marcal Cava BrutHere’s to the end of a lovely week. I’ve almost finished unpacking and settling in to my new place and my new job. To celebrate, I wandered over to The Cheese Cellar for a treat of champagne, stinky cheese, and prosciutto. After assessing my modest budget and taste preferences, the owners kindly recommended Mont Marcal’s Cava Reserva sparkling wine (because as we know, it’s not officially champagne unless the grapes were grown in France’s Champagne region); and for the delightful, stinky cheese we chose the symmetry of a Spanish pena azul. (The prosciutto was, of course, Italian, but shh…)

I can’t wait until I can start working in my art studio again. In the meantime, I’m working on my website…
