I remember being so excited when my first ever article for Decanter Magazine was published (in print) for their March 2019 Spain issue. Later on it was also published online. But of course it’s been a while and there have been a lot of changes happening here and everywhere, so finally I was asked to update my piece and, well, here it is!

My lovely friends Fabrizia & Franco opened a new pizzeria in the Alameda yesterday and it’s really something special. Offering different pizza styles from different regions of Italy, along with wine pairing suggestions. Stopped by for the opening and had a couple of snacks… must go back with at least 2-3 other friends to help try all the options.Wishing them all the luck in the world, they really know how to do this right.

The Andalucia Academy of Gastronomy & Tourism held its annual awards this week at the Hotel Alfonso XIII, hosted by Academy president Iván Llanza and broadcaster Pepe da Rosa. It was a pleasure to celebrate the award presentation with friends and colleagues in the sector and later enjoy local dishes and wines at the reception in the beautiful orange blossom scented courtyard. Congratulations to all the winners.

I was so happy to be invited to the Premios Solera Sevilla presentation honouring the best of Sevilla’s sherry ambassadors. The event was hosted by the Consejo Regulador de Jerez (Sherry Council) at the fabulous La Fortíssima rooftop terrace. And what made this so special for me was that all the recipients of the awards are not only friends who work together to support sherry wines here but they are also friends of mine. To be included in this event was very special indeed. See the winners below…
