finos palmas
What a day. Went to get my chemo port cleaned out this morning and for the second month running they’ve had trouble with “blockage”, which apparently I’m not supposed to worry about. Hmmmm…

This was followed by a midday wine tasting that I was invited to (just 15 guests) for Colonias de Galeón and, after a short rest at home, I am now heading out to taste these babies… limited edition old finos from Gonzalez Byass. You can read more about the tasting on my azahar Sevilla blog: Finos Palmas 2013.

And if you like you can follow it live streaming at 7 pm Spanish time.

sevilla, sherry, tapas

tapas jerez

So there is this tapas & sherry pairing event going on in Sevilla, from the 1st – 17th of November, during which 62 bars will offer a select tapa paired with a sherry or manzanilla wine. And I am totally ON THIS. Of course visiting 62 bars in just over two weeks is only slightly impossible so it’s a good thing at least a dozen of the bars on the list aren’t places I’m interested in. And to ease both the wallet and liver, Peter is helping me out. This means that we go to each bar and share both the tapa and the sherry, so – for example – we can visit four places and end up having just 2 drinks and 2 tapas but 4 different experiences and can judge which pairings work best at more places.

You can follow all the action on azahar’s Sevilla blog and also on my Instagram.

copa jerez prize
So remember when I went to the Copa Jerez (Sherry Cup) last week? Well, there was also a Twitter competition that day, with the Sherry Academy saying that whoever tweeted the most using the “official hashtags” could win a prize. Well, you know me. I tweet the shit outta everything when I’m at an event. And so I won this! I hardly know where to begin. Though I think I might actually host a sherry-pairing dinner party…

jamon, jamon iberico, sevilla, spain

fiesta jamon vino
I love Sevilla. For four days at Flores Jamón & Vinos the offer is a large plate of jamón Ibérico de bellota with two glasses of fino for 15€ – a crazy good price. And if I check in on either 4 Square of Yelp (and I will!) I’ll get a half-bottle of Osborne fino. Yep, I’ll be there. 🙂

But not until tomorrow. Gotta work tonight.
