My pal Dan @dan.jamon always sees my Decanter articles before I do. Saw this pic on his Instagram and now can’t wait to get my own copy. They usually send me one, so hopefully its on the way. Still waiting to find out if it’s also been published online. Originally this one was only supposed to be online, then they decided to publish it in the supplement of their October magazine. Yay! My fourth Decanter article. Hope there will be more. đ

So while I was away in Galicia I got an invitation to the Spanish book launch of my friend JosĂ© Pizarro’s AndalucĂa, which is being held in Madrid on October 30th. You may recall I went to London in May for a event at the Spanish Embassy that included celebrating JosĂ©’s 25 years as a chef and was also the launch for the English version of this book. But you know, I want to be there to support JosĂ© and so I booked my train to Madrid and a hotel for a couple of nights, even though I can’t exactly afford to travel right now.
And THEN something amazing happened. Out of the blue I was asked by Decanter Magazine to write another city break travel piece for them… on Madrid! This is my third commission from Decanter in a year, and I am thrilled about that. But also, it will end up paying for my trip and I can use my time there to do research for the article. How perfect is that? đ

Pretty exciting to get this in the mail today! My latest article in Decanter Magazine, this one on Galicia. It’s actually part of an 82 page supplement with the November issue, all about Spanish wines. I had a bit of a struggle with this one, not just because it was twice as long as the previous one, but it took awhile for me to feel good enough about it to send it in. Apparently Decanter was pleased with it though as they asked me to stay in touch and send them some pitches on different Spanish wine regions. So I think I can now add “Decanter Mag contributor” to my social media profiles  đ

Yay! My article in Decanter Magazine is out. I first saw it being linked to online, then Dan Jamon took this photo of the actual magazine and put it on his Instagram. Can’t wait to get a copy of my own. Happy. đ
