This year’s Sevilla presentation of the 2023 TÃo Pepe en Rama took place at the glamourous Villa Luisa. Each spring this limited edition selection is chosen by Gonzales-Byass master wineblender Antonio Flores from two of the oldest Téo Pepe soleras, Rebollo and Constancia, and it is then bottled without filtration or clarification to ensure the freshest “straight from the barrel” fino sherry experience.
I had a great time meeting up with so many friends and colleagues. The sherry community here is quite a special one. My only “complaint” is that we weren’t given a bottle of this year’s en rama to take home as on other occasions. Time to go shopping…

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 FortÃssima 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…

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.

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 MarÃa 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.
