yin phil

I’ve been Twitter pals with Yin @jjassociatesYin & Phil @philjjassociate for YEARS. They live next door in Portugal so they end up coming to Sevilla quite often, but today was the first time we’ve managed to meet up in person. Total kindred spirits in the love of good food and wine department, plus we know a lot of the same bars and bar owners. It’s almost like we’ve been living parallel lives here.

Today we went somewhere they hadn’t been to before, La Barra de Cañabota, with Peter joining us, and we had a great time. Looking forward to future Beer O’clocks with them.

9th anniversary (1)Adam, Thomas, Tiffany & Jack

The other day my Twitter pal Simon @sj_bowden posted a photo of us on a tapas tour saying it was 9 years ago this week that he and his friends were out with me. And then today I had a tour with Jack @centrejack and Thomas who had also been here in 2013 (and were back with friends for more!). It’s so great when stuff like this happens and it reminds me of how many people I first met on a tapas tour who ended up becoming friends (you all know who you are!). It really is a wonderful job. Also, check out quality difference between the iPhone 4 photos and my latest one. Wow.

9th anniversary (2)Brad, Chad, Jack & Thomas – May 2013

anne paul 2022

It’s always a treat meeting up with Anne & Paul, either here or in Jerez, where they live. This time I got to see them twice in Jerez while I was there doing the Vinoble thing. We had one lovely afternoon tapeo and then one disastrous lunch (WORST SERVICE EVER). And yet both experiences were just fine, and enjoyable, because you can’t beat great company. Makes everything work out in the end. Thanks guys! See you soon.
