Remember back in May when I won one of the limited edition commemorative bottles of Tío Pepe, celebrating the return of the iconic neon sign to Puerta del Sol after a three-year absence? Well, it looked for awhile like I might not ever get it as the delivery company (which shall remain nameless) was not very efficient and failed to leave notices when they didn’t find me at home. Duh. But it finally got sorted out and now I am delighted to have this fabulous bottle (the colourful label goes all around the bottle, showing the entire sign). It’s especially meaningful now after having seen the sign in place when I was in Madrid last week. You can see pics of them on my Instagram, both daytime and nightime shots. *happy*

Years and years ago (about 1993?) when I first visited Madrid I remember being charmed by the neon lights in Puerta del Sol and especially the Tío Pepe sign (long before I knew I would become a fan of this particular wine). Anyhow, when Apple took over the building where this iconic sign had stood for something like forty years, and did extensive renovations, Bodegas Gonzalez Byass had to look for a new home for its beloved Tío Pepe. Which ended up being just across the square and, after a three-year absence, was reinstalled this spring. It was one of the first “sights” I looked for when I got into town.
So much going on that I will only be sending postcards from Madrid this week…
