tio pepe en rama 23 (1)

This year’s Sevilla presentation of the 2023 Tío Pepe en Rama took place at the glamourous Villa Luisa. Each spring this limited edition selection is chosen by Gonzales-Byass master wineblender Antonio Flores from two of the oldest Téo Pepe soleras, Rebollo and Constancia, and it is then bottled without filtration or clarification to ensure the freshest “straight from the barrel” fino sherry experience.

I had a great time meeting up with so many friends and colleagues. The sherry community here is quite a special one. My only “complaint” is that we weren’t given a bottle of this year’s en rama to take home as on other occasions. Time to go shopping…

caturday april 15 2023 (1)

Happy Caturday everybody. It’s been two and a half weeks since Morcilla had her surgery to remove the mystery lump on her little head. As you can see she has made a full recovery and at this point you can barely see the scar over her right eye any more. A shout out to Sonia and her fabulous team at Centro Veterinario Triana for taking such good care of us this past month or so, first for helping with Loki’s sudden illness and death and then getting Morcilla back to health. Not only super professional and capable, but also very compassionate and caring.

Please don’t take it the wrong way when I say that  I hope I won’t have to see you again for a long while but I am so grateful knowing you are there. Thanks again for everything! 🧡🐈‍⬛🐾

getting there

It was a brief but possibly significant moment. Morcilla and Luna were suddenly on top of the little side table, studiously ignoring each other, but no hissing or spitting going on. Anyhow, I now  feel okay leaving the bedroom door open at night, and also leaving them on their own when both of us have to be out. We may be getting there! 🙏🏻
