La Gabinoteca : Tapas and Wine with a Modern twist.

Last night I went with some friends to a new place in Madrid called La Gabinoteca. It’s a modern tapas bar with some very cool and original ideas.

The wine list is very different than in most places, specially in Spain where wine lists tend to be quite boring with very little originality. La Gabinoteca has made choosing wine into a “game”, based on things you like. You start by choosing between two statements: classic or modern, and from there you keep narrowing down the choices based what you like to do on the weekends, favourite famous character, and other fun queries.  It is such a different and interesting way to choose wine!

For dinner we had tortillitas de camarones, Iberian ham, manchego cheese and a version of a  Spanish omelette I’d never had, it was liquid and it came in a jar. It was awesome!!

If you come to Madrid, I highly recommend this experience!
