The hottest ticket in town last week was for the annual presentation of the latest bottling of Tío Pepe en Rama. This year the event was held in the spectacular Alcázar Palace gardens with fabulous flamenco artists and sherry galore. Good times.

So this happened. Started the day with a private sherry tasting by Bodegas La Gitana at Las Teresas (the rep had seen a post of mine on Instagram and invited me) and, since I also had a last minute tapas tour booked the clients met me at Teresas when the tasting finished. Win-win. The clients were friends of my Twitter pal (and fellow sherry educator) Ruben @sherrynotes and both the tasting and tour were great fun (and delicious too).

So this was fun. I was finally able to unpack all the goodies I received on Tuesday and prepare for the online sherry tasting and pairing. Trust me, it was no small feat keeping the cats away from the tuna and cheese snacks. When the zoom started I moved everything to a small table beside my desk and
If you like you can watch the video of it below. I’m very happy they didn’t call on me to comment! And you can also see a list of the wines we tried and the food that was paired with them.

Christmas came early today when this fabulous package of deliciousness arrived. I am invited to take part in a special zoom Sherry Week tasting and pairing this Thursday and was told I’d be receiving the wines and some food products beforehand. But I sure wasn’t expecting all this! Can’t wait to open everything up.

Sherry Week has arrived! And my Sevilla Sherry Tasting is being offered on the international website. But then this morning I woke up and thought… do I really want to do that Instagram sherry pairing thing AGAIN? It began by accident last year and it ended up being quite a nice thing, helping people pair different dishes with different sherries, which I have stored here on my Instagram stories. But it was also a fuck of a lot of work! Choosing the 6 wines, then which 3 dishes I would pair with each one, then hunting down photos and finally writing the text and uploading everything not just on my Instagram page, but also to the stories, and later to Twitter… omg. Anyhow, as you can see, I’m doing it again. So PLEASE GO CHECK IT OUT! 😅
