Just spent a lovely afternoon with Lizzie @hollowlegs and James @pizzapilgrims who arrived in Sevilla from London this morning and were clearly in need of some tapas. Specifically some jamón Ibérico and manzanilla sherry… for starters. I’ve been “twitter pals” with Lizzie for awhile, so I was very happy to finally meet her in person and give her and James an introduction to Sevilla and tapas. And hey – I had a great time too! Love meeting new people, especially those who are interested in the whole food and culture thing, knowing that one doesn’t exist without the other.

I wasn’t sure how the afternoon would go, but starting off with excellent jamón is always a good move. In the end we went to four tapas bars – three traditional and one modern – and I lurched home around 5 o’clock after leaving Lizzie and James at the Mushrooms to enjoy the views from above, and possibly another drink. Man, I love twitter.

Coming home from tonight’s tapas tour the sky looked quite ominous.
Stormy weather has been predicted.

flamenco moment
Last night was my first Flamenco & Tapas Tour since before my summer holidays in July. Usually hardly any of my flamenco photos turn out because the dancers move so darn fast. But I’m actually quite pleased with this one.

book, sherry, tours

sherry bookI was crushed to find out that I’d missed my chance to sign up for the first Sherry Master course being offered by Gonzalez-Byass in Jerez earlier this month. Well, I knew that I wouldn’t exactly be a true sherry master after a two-day event, but it would have helped with my education in order to get my Introduction to Sherry tours going, and it would have also been a lot of fun.

Then I came across this recently-published book that I’d been hearing about on Twitter by Peter LIem and Jesus Barquín called Sherry, Manzanilla & Montilla. So I read a couple of reviews and decided to order it, thinking it would be a good place to begin a bit of “formal training” in terms of learning more about the world of sherry. It arrived yesterday. Now I just have to find time to read it! Looks like I’m going to be crazy busy most of this month.

Like now. Just home from a morning Market & Tapas Tour and a bit later will be going out on an evening Sevilla Tapas Tour. I think I need to clone myself…
