flor friday deluxe

So it used to be Fino Friday and Manzanilla Monday, but now going with Flor Friday (flor refers to the layer of yeast that forms over the biologically aged sherries in the barrel) because it means I have more options. In this case I ended up trying two outstanding sherries – a fino and a manzanilla – on the same day, which doesn’t happen often.

Twelve-year-old Camborio fino en rama by Bodegas Juan Piñero @bjuanpinero was bottled last October, in the style of the old school fino amontillados. Gorgeous colour, with great texture and depth of flavour. The name (and quote on the bottle) comes from a character in the Romancero Gitano by Federico García Lorca.

Cuestecilla manzanilla by Bodegas Delgado Zuleta @delgadozuleta is one of 600 numbered bottles from a barrel that came from the old Cuestecilla bodega (demolished in 2007) in the Barrio Alto of Sanlúcar de Barrameda. You hear a lot of “this is like drinking straight from the barrel” claims with en rama sherries but this one totally took me back to Sanlúcar.

Wine Wednesday. The perfect day to pop over to Bodeguita Romero for a free tasting of Tío Mateo fino from Bodegas Marqués de Real Tesoro (now part of Grupo Estevez). Well, any excuse really…

montilla morilesI’d seen this unusual bottle of PX fino posted on Instagram by a few of my food&wine pals, and to be honest thought that it was too gimicky for it to hold an exceptional wine. But I was wrong! I got to taste it at Andalucía Sabor the other day and not only loved it, but also got my interest piqued to start finding out more about Montilla-Moriles wines (sherry-style wines from Córdoba). But first I have to focus on sherry for the upcoming Sherry Educator course. One thing at a time…

look what I just won!

tio pepe prize
A personalised commemorative bottle of Tío Pepe, celebrating the return of the iconic Tío Pepe rooftop sign to the Puerta del Sol in Madrid after a three year absence. So excited! I sure seem to be winning a lot of stuff lately… maybe I should buy a lottery ticket?

feria jerez friends

Every other time I’ve gone to the Feria in Jerez I’ve spent almost all my time taking photos of the gorgeous horses. This time I spent most of the day drinking sherry in the Gonzalez Byass tent with these lovely people. Well, it was different! And really nice to meet up with old friends again, as well as meet some new ones. But I’m kind of sorry I missed the horses (sorry Beth!). Hope I’ll be able to go again next year.
