sherry class

This week I met up with Nell and Elena – my fab We Love Tapas team – for a Sherry Class at Casa Morales. They were interested in learning more about sherry and I was more than happy to oblige. So we spent a delicious couple of hours tasting five sherries perfectly paired with tapas and it was such a pleasure to have two such enthusiastic students. Team 2023 is turning out to be the best one yet.

antigua abaceria de san lorenzo, mahon cheese, sevilla

mahon

I thought I had missed this! Somewhere in my muddled mind I almost remembered I’d been invited to a lovely tasting of Mahon cheeses at the lovely Antigua Abacería San Lorenzo, and I even had it in my calendar for today. But yesterday on Twitter I saw that the tasting was underway and just chalked it up to me having no brain any more. But then, since I hadn’t been back to the Abacería in ages it seemed like a good idea to pop over for lunch, reckoning a Monday wouldn’t be too busy. So imagine my surprise when I showed up and Ramón ushered me upstairs and… there was cheese everywhere!

Turned out that yesterday’s event was the public promotion for Quesos La Payesa but today was for journalists, influencers and… me! And it was fabulous. Not just amazing cheese but we were also treated to a very tasty lunch (caesar salad, mushroom risotto, cheesecake) all made with Mahon cheeses. We were offered any wines we wanted and I chose sherries (manzanilla and amontillado). An unexpected pleasure.

THE SHERRY ANVIL

Lots of changes going on within the Sherry Council (Consejo Regulador) including the expansion of what we have always known as the Sherry Triangle, that area of land bordered by Jerez, Sanlúcar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa María which, until now, was the only place that sherry wines could be officially produced, aged and bottled. The new expansion includes six more towns: Lebrija, Trebujena, Chipiona, Rota, Chiclana and San José de Valle, which is good news for the producers, but it does leave us with a bit of a quandary as to how to refer to the region now.

sherry week, zoom sherry tasting

sherry zoom

This is the second time I’ve participated in the Sherry Week zoom session featuring pairings of delicious sherry wines with delicious products from Cádiz. Us lucky participants received a lovely gift package a few days before the presentation so we could follow along. Fave sherry this year was the gorgeous La Honda amontillado and the totally surprise food item were the mushy tagarninas (google it) in a jar that looked like cat food (blue bowl) but tasted like veggie heaven. Really all of it was totally tasty and it was great to take part again.

This year this is what we tasted…
