Where would I be without Twitter? After finally meeting Andrew @undertheflor on our first night in Madrid, we also got to see Graeme @graeme_SoW, who I first met during a social web conference here in Sevilla back in 2010. Andrew had arranged a special lunch at one of his favourite spots, Territorio ERA, in the newly renovated Barceló Market. And then one of my favourite things happened… chef and co-owner David just brought us food – delicious dishes, all paired with fabulous sherries. Didn’t have to think about or decide anything. It was wonderful. Great company too.

andrewIt was great to finally meet Andrew (aka @undertheflor) a fellow sherry lover and long time Twitter pal. And so of course we had to meet at one of Madrid’s coolest sherry bars, Palo Cortado. It was like meeting up with an old friend. Andrew suggested a couple of fab sherries for us to try before heading off and promising to meet up again before we left.

pili-1So okay, it was almost a month late (through no real fault of either myself or Pilar) but better late than never. Today we finally managed to get together for lunch and celebrate Pilar’s birthday, which has become a bit of a tradition over the years.

This time we went to the always fabulous Vineria San Telmo and, not only was Pilar sung to by the staff when her candle lit birthday, erm, pie arrived, another client came over to us and said it was HIS birthday too, and gave Pilar a kiss. Great food and wine (including sherry), cosy ambiance… a lovely afternoon with a lovely friend.

sherry-weekAside from offering my own Sherry & Tapas Pairings, and launching the new Sherry & Tapas tour with We Love Tapas during Sherry Week 2016, I went out with trusty sidekick Peter @SVQconcierge to sample a few of the Ruta de Tapas offerings by local bars. We only managed 9 bars, but oh well…
