Last July I finally got to meet Sarah and Ian in person. Sarah and I had been online pals for years so it was great to finally get together and go out on a full-on Sherry & Tapas Tour. At the time Sarah was telling me about her plans to open a tapas bar in Winchester, UK called Bar Lento. And guess what? It opened in May! And by all accounts it’s going very well, with locals and visitors alike showing an interest. So this most recent trip back was to do a little research and hook up with some sherry suppliers. And I was very happy they made some time to meet up for lunch during their quick visit. We started off at Taberna Manolo Cateca (Sevilla’s sherry temple) and then went to one of my new all time faves Augurio. A fabulous afternoon.

If you’re in the Winchester area, check out Bar Lento.
