signed

Last night I was invited to a posh presentation at the Hotel Alfonso XIII and, when I found out César Saldaña was going to be there, I decided to take the opportunity of getting my copy of The Book of Sherry Wine signed. César is not only an author, he’s the president of the Sherry Council and was one of my teachers when I took the Sherry Educator course back in 2015. I think I caught him by surprise with the book, but he was a good sport about it. Though he didn’t write “to the BEST sherry student I’ve ever had” like I asked him to… 😉

So this was lovely! The other day a mutual Twitter/Instagram pal hooked Katie @bowlandandbay and me up as she and her partner Paul were in town for a few days. We met today – their last day – for a quick sherry at Manolo Cateca, which ended up segueing into a fun sherry filled afternoon, finishing up at Palo Cortao for lunch. Another great social media connection (I still love Twitter for this!) and new foodie friends.

sherry wines book

Since I moved to the present Casa Azahar, and downsized (including getting rid of about 80% of my books), I am being very selective about any new book purchases. But I couldn’t resist this one, written by César Saldaña, the president of the Regulatory Council Sherry Academy (and one of my teachers during the Sherry Educator course I took in 2015). So this arrived today and, although I’m just a few pages in, I can already tell it’s going to be a profound and enjoyable experience. ¡Salud! 🥂
