… but damn this is a nice bonus!

Awhile back I suggested to Málaga wine goddess Victoria Ordoñez that she move the WordPress.com blog she’s had for over a year now to her newly re-designed website, so as to incorporate the two better. And I said I could help her do that. You can see her new blog here, which I think turned out very nice. And today I received my “payment” for the blog move… a case of Botani!

You have to understand that ever since tasting Botani up in the Málaga mountains where this beautifully fragrant, yet gorgeously dry, moscatel was born, it has become my favourite white wine. But as it costs about double the usual casa az house white (a nice verdejo from Rueda), Botani is a rare treat for me. So it really is a wonderful thing having a case to myself to enjoy over the summer. The second case is for me to use at my discretion, in my Sevilla Tapas role, to distribute to tapas bars and restaurants I feel should have this very special wine on their menu.

Another nice bonus today was running into a neighbour who ended up hiring me for a freelance gig setting up his holiday apartments online. Now that *will* help with the rent, at least this month.

And now I think I am going to enjoy a glass of my favourite wine – I’ve earned it!
