premios solear

I was so happy to be invited to the Premios Solera Sevilla presentation honouring the best of Sevilla’s sherry ambassadors. The event was hosted by the Consejo Regulador de Jerez (Sherry Council) at the fabulous La Fortíssima rooftop terrace. And what made this so special for me was that all the recipients of the awards are not only friends who work together to support sherry wines here but they are also friends of mine. To be included in this event was very special indeed. See the winners below…

sherry class

This week I met up with Nell and Elena – my fab We Love Tapas team – for a Sherry Class at Casa Morales. They were interested in learning more about sherry and I was more than happy to oblige. So we spent a delicious couple of hours tasting five sherries perfectly paired with tapas and it was such a pleasure to have two such enthusiastic students. Team 2023 is turning out to be the best one yet.

THE SHERRY ANVIL

Lots of changes going on within the Sherry Council (Consejo Regulador) including the expansion of what we have always known as the Sherry Triangle, that area of land bordered by Jerez, Sanlúcar de Barrameda and El Puerto de Santa María which, until now, was the only place that sherry wines could be officially produced, aged and bottled. The new expansion includes six more towns: Lebrija, Trebujena, Chipiona, Rota, Chiclana and San José de Valle, which is good news for the producers, but it does leave us with a bit of a quandary as to how to refer to the region now.

Sherry & Tapas Tasting

This year I have two fabulous sherry tastings on offer for Sherry Week (November 7-13th). A lunchtime Sherry & Tapas tasting at my beloved Casa Morales. And new this year is a gorgeous gourmet tasting option at chic Restaurante Zelai featuring wines by Bodegas Lustau that is available late afternoons. Spread the word!

zelai lustau

My new Azahar Sevilla Sherry Tasting is live! I’m very excited about this new venture I have created with Restaurante Zelai (omg their food pairings!) and I am looking forward to hosting lots of events. It’s kind of a “big sister” tasting that complements my more casual Sherry & Tapas Tasting at Casa Morales.

Perfect for people wanting a more epicurean experience we are offering wines from top sherry house Bodegas Lustau paired with exquisite gourmet bites. We can also accommodate larger groups at Zelai and it’s a more private experience. I love both of these tasting options and feel happy that I can now offer another way for people to learn about sherry. Wish me luck!
