“ITS a saga fit for one of Spains great film directors. In the early 1960s, on a wine estate in Old Castile, the teenage son of one of the winery workers is collared by the winemakers as he walks past their offices one day. They need another taster. It doesnt matter that he doesnt know anything about wine.
In a blind tasting of 20 wines, the young man, Mariano Garcí, is the only one of the group to pick out the two wines that are identical. He is put to work in the winery and by the time he is 24, he has become chief winemaker at Vega Sicilia, a legendary bodega winery that once boasted Winston Churchill among its fans, and for more than 100 years was the only notable wine producer in the region.”
