orange wineI love connections like this.

My friend Saray had helped me organise some orange-themed product info for my friend José Pizarro’s visiting friend Sarah last month. Since then the general director of BurNarj, whose family makes this lovely orange sparkling wine, has been in touch with me, asking if I’d like to have a private tasting. And as special as that sounded, I thought it would actually be more fun with other people to share the experience with. So I invited a couple of friends and yesterday we spent a very pleasant couple of hours trying this unique wine.

Most orange wines are simply grape wines that are somehow flavoured/infused with orange, but this is the very first sparkling wine in the world that is actually made from 100% orange juice from orchards growing along the banks of the Guadalquivir River. It doesn’t get much more Andaluz than that!

Have a look at my blog post on Azahar’s Sevilla for more info…

fff - grassThis week’s Friday Foto Finder challenge is “grass”…

You don’t see much grass in Sevilla and, according to my gardener friend Flor, you shouldn’t. It’s not only not an indigeneous plant but it also requires far too much water for a region like Andalucía, which often suffers from drought. But this cat grass is eco-friendly and also good for kittehs. Some pics of the love of my life, Azar, in my old apartment, enjoying some fresh air on the balcony and a bit of grass salad whenever he wanted it.
