It was a very sherry kind of day in El Puerto de Santa María, culminating with these super cute (and tasty) sherry cocktails. Much more later, but I just got home and right now have to put up my feet and … relax.
How was your Saturday?

So THIS came today! Very excited. And so yet another Jerez Getaway looms (though there will actually be one more before this for the Jerez Feria at the beginning of May). This will be the first time attending Vinoble as an official Sherry Educator. Did I mention I am excited???

Notice token flamenco image in centre of collage ;). But flamenco really was the reason I ended up in Jerez this weekend, with my friend Jo. It turned out Jo was coming down from London for the weekend to take a couple of flamenco dance classes with renowned dancer and choreographer Joaquín Grilo. And as I also had plans to see Sara Baras we decided to make a weekend of it. Every year Jerez hosts this 10-day Festival de Jerez but this is the first time I’ve been. It’s great fun, lots of events going on around the city, which made Jo and I think that maybe next year we’ll come for a whole week.

Twitter magic strikes again! Thanks to the wonderfulness that is Twitter, Sarah and Derek booked a tapas tour with me. And then I found out that they run Bray’s Cottage Pork Pies in Norfolk, UK – home of THE perfect pork pie. And they brought me THREE PIES as a gift. And so I couldn’t just give them my usual tour, and offered them a Deluxe Tapas tour. Five bars in four hours… lots of tapas, lots of chat, lots of fun. And now I can’t wait to try those pies!
