Chef Carlos Mitchell, manager Edmundo Hernández, master wine blender Antonio Flores

The Taberna del Alabardero is presenting their new pairing menu and I was lucky to be invited to the preview today. The food was prepared by chef Carlos Mitchell with wines provided by Bodegas Gonzales Byass, and master wine blender Antonio Flores was on hand to add his special poetic touch to the presentation.

Food was delicious, wines were lovely and at 35 euros (five courses including wines!), this tasting menu can’t be beat. If you’re in Sevilla be sure to check it out from March 20th to April 14th.

Another day, another tasting… this time a “visit” to Extremadura thanks to Taberna del Alabardero and the various food and wine producers from this neighbouring region, on the north-west border of Andalucía. As always at these events, there were simply too many wines to try them all, but I did find a couple of new ones that were exceptional. More soon on Azahar Sevilla.

What a spectacular way to spend a Manzanilla Monday. Yesterday I was invited to the presentation and tasting of the latest bottling of Bodegas Delgado Zuleta’s premium “en rama” manzanilla Goya XL, a rare and special beast that has only occurred four times in the history of the bodega.

The event was held in the elegant central courtyard at Taberna de Alabadero, and we were given a tasting of two criaderas that were on their way to becoming Goya XL, and then the final product. And well, it was wonderful. I sat spellbound as DZ’s newest winemaker José Antonio Sánchez Pazo told us about the evolution of this very special wine, and also gave us a bit of insight and history about the bodega.

Full report coming soon on the Azahar Sevilla blog.
