Perfect Saturday afternoon… chilled fino, hot buttered popcorn and this amazing film. I’d heard so much about it (including mixed reviews) but I absolutely loved it. Especially as it mirrored my own experience after visiting over a dozen different bodegas and getting more than a dozen different answers to my question “so, what’s the difference between an amontillado and a palo cortado?”. Also great to see so many people that I know. Check it out if you can.

palo cortadosThe Sherry Twitter Tasting I told you about was last night! As you can see I had everything nicely set up, including a not so subtle shot of my Sherry Educator certificate in the background (actually still haven’t figured out where to hang it, so for now it’s on the table). Anyhow, it was very cool, tasting some very fine palo cortados and commenting live on Twitter. Though I have to say I felt a little out of my depth in terms of “tasting note vocab” so stuck to somewhat light fluffy comments. It was fun though – will write a bit more about the event on Azahar Spain soon.

palo cortadoOn the heels of receiving my Sherry Educator Certificate I was also chosen to participate in one of two Sherry Twitter Tastings, being held during International Sherry Week. And I got chosen for the Palo Cortado tasting – bonus! Here is my set of samples, which I got in the mail this week. Including the one that inspired my sherry ephiphany – the VORS from Bodegas Tradición. Apparently that little one in the middle is especially rare. Anyhow, really looking forward to taking part in this.

If you want to follow along pop onto Twitter on November 3rd at 19.00h CEST and look for the #SherryTT hashtag.
