On Monday I had the pleasure of being invited to a wine tasting led by Toni Sarrión, winemaker/owner of the fabulous Bodegas Mustiguillo (which also gets a mention in my latest Decanter article about Valencia). Not only delicious wines but also a lovely setting on the river front at the posh Abades restaurant, once again being swept up in Toni’s passion for his wines and his process. He’s a bit of a rebel. And I have certainly had worse Mondays! 🍷

Six years ago today I became a Certified Sherry Educator!
It’s an honour to be included in such illustrious company and a privilege to introduce people to this most amazing wine, or help them expand on their knowledge of it. You never stop learning about sherry, it’s a delicious world to discover, and to keep on discovering.
Also many thanks to all the wonderful bodegas that have always been so generous and welcoming and the fabulous bars in #Sevilla that help make my sherry experiences extra special. Salud! 💛

Kath (@kittyd66) and I have been following each other on Twitter/Instagram for a while now and when she and her husband Tony came back to Sevilla for a visit this week (their 7th!) she got in touch with me about an “off the beaten track” tour since they already knew the city and its bars quite well. And so I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to suggest our new We Love Tapas Magical Mystery Tapas Tour with José, with a plan to meet up with them later on during their visit for a cervecita. Well, they loved the tour and did indeed go to places they didn’t know existed, then I met them today for a fabulous lunch at La Brunilda – another first for them. It was a fun afternoon and, as always, lovely to meet another “Twitter pal” in person at last. Pretty sure they’ll be back.
