Since October 2006 The Ritz Hotel in London has had six Valencian wines on its wine list (Torre Oria Marqués de Requena Brut Nature Cava, Vega Infante Macabeo 2005, Vega Infante Bobal Rosado 2005 and Vega Infante Crianza 2003 from Utiel-Requena; Pasamonte 2004, from DO Valencia; and Enrique Mendoza Moscatel de la Marina 2005 from DO Alicante). The figure behind this excellent development is the head sommelier, twenty-something Bruno Murciano, from Utiel-Requena (Caudete de las Fuentes to be precise)where his parents run a bar. So, the next time you go for tea at The Ritz (no jeans or trainers allowed) stay on for a drink.
