So two big time wine events in less than a week. First up was Vinos de España Una Pasión last Thursday in Málaga and then this week’s final of the Copa Jerez in Jerez de la Frontera. Both offered a chance to meet up with old friends and make some new ones. And enjoy some fabulous wines! More on each trip a bit later. Just to say how much I love being a part of this community, feeling a part of it, being accepted. Love it so much.

Here it is! My latest travel article for Decanter, this one written in tandem with my editor Ines Salpico (she wrote the wine reviews). It actually came out almost a month ago but it was only when Deb brought me a copy from London this week that I was able to hold it in my hot little hands.
Anyhow, it’s about 10 top wineries in the Balearic Islands and I had such a great time researching and meeting so many interesting people. And also getting to know my new editor Ines. I hope I never lose the thrill of seeing my name in print and especially when they stick me on the “experts” page. I am in some very serious company up there, it’s quite an honour.
The article should be online soon and you will be able to find it here…

sherry advent calendar NOW
26 Tuesday Nov 2024
I have seen so many of these lovely whisky advent calendars over the years but… where is the sherry one? Imagine the tasty fun of trying a bit of lovely sherry from different bodegas every day leading up to Christmas. Heck, I’d even settle for one of the big sherry producers doing their own. Just do it!
