zelai lustau

My new Azahar Sevilla Sherry Tasting is live! I’m very excited about this new venture I have created with Restaurante Zelai (omg their food pairings!) and I am looking forward to hosting lots of events. It’s kind of a “big sister” tasting that complements my more casual Sherry & Tapas Tasting at Casa Morales.

Perfect for people wanting a more epicurean experience we are offering wines from top sherry house Bodegas Lustau paired with exquisite gourmet bites. We can also accommodate larger groups at Zelai and it’s a more private experience. I love both of these tasting options and feel happy that I can now offer another way for people to learn about sherry. Wish me luck!

maps

Came across these on Twitter the other day, posted as the only 4 maps of Spain you need to know. Not sure about that but they’re quite interesting for food and drink lovers, even if not exactly complete . They’re from a site called El Orden Mundial and if you’d like to see the maps enlarged then click on the links below.

rincon tito (12)Luis, owner Luis Barceló, Jonathan & Carmen

When you stop off somewhere you’ve never been before for a quick beer (because the other bar you were going to was closed) and end up chatting with the bar owner, then stay for lunch, and then make friends, not only with the owner and staff, but also with two couples sitting at other tables, then all of us finishing with orujo chupitos together… so much fun. Delicious too. This is El Rincón del Tito, about a ten minute walk from my house. Founded in 1982. l couldn’t believe I’d never been here before. Present owner Luis Barceló has been running it for the past 15 years. He also couldn’t believe I’d  never been here before (what?? you’ve been to Eme’s and not here??). Anyhow, review going up soon on Sevilla Tapas, and yes, I will be back here soon. Love this place! Also loved the serendipity.
