In Europe, there's a beautiful country called Spain where you'll find a beautiful region called Catalonia, which is graced by a beautiful wine country called Penedès, which is the location of the beautiful Vinyas Singulars, owned by Ignasi Seguí and his family, where they have a beautiful estate, upon which grows a beautiful 400-year-old oak tree.

It was in the shade of that tree that our group of Gastronomads with the Barcelona Experience last month enjoyed an epic Catalonian feast (put together by Veronica, as well as Ignacio's mother and wife) — homemade sausages, a selection of cheeses from Xerigots, tortilla (the Spanish and Catalonia kind), pan con tomate and more. We also took another crack at drinking wine from a porron.

Did I mention it was beautiful?
