So this was fun. I was finally able to unpack all the goodies I received on Tuesday and prepare for the online sherry tasting and pairing. Trust me, it was no small feat keeping the cats away from the tuna and cheese snacks. When the zoom started I moved everything to a small table beside my desk and
If you like you can watch the video of it below. I’m very happy they didn’t call on me to comment! And you can also see a list of the wines we tried and the food that was paired with them.

Sherry Week has arrived! And my Sevilla Sherry Tasting is being offered on the international website. But then this morning I woke up and thought… do I really want to do that Instagram sherry pairing thing AGAIN? It began by accident last year and it ended up being quite a nice thing, helping people pair different dishes with different sherries, which I have stored here on my Instagram stories. But it was also a fuck of a lot of work! Choosing the 6 wines, then which 3 dishes I would pair with each one, then hunting down photos and finally writing the text and uploading everything not just on my Instagram page, but also to the stories, and later to Twitter… omg. Anyhow, as you can see, I’m doing it again. So PLEASE GO CHECK IT OUT! 😅

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! 💛
