Helped my dad buy a case of '08 Turnbull splits...when I finally claimed the box from my wine cellar club today I had totally forgotten what it was.

I really should keep this on the low, but I had to tell my close Snooth pals.

Hello Snooth!

I would love to visit a vineyard in Southern Spain when I go there on holiday in July - can anyone recommend a tour?  We will be staying near Manilva (in between Estepona and Gibraltar).

I have been to Gibraltar a couple of times.It is a very interesting place although only three square miles including Europe's only colony of apes  but no vineyard.When I was there there were trips being run to the Tio Pepe estate in Jerez in Southern Spain so that it is probably not too far from where you will be staying.
