Until a couple of days ago I had no idea who Jürgen Klopp was (FYI German professional ex-footballer, now manager of Premier League club Liverpool – more images here). Then I came across this brilliant thread on Twitter by British comic Laura Lexx @lauralexx that had me laughing out loud for the first time in days. Do yourself a favour and check it out…

Spotted on Twitter…
How do you make ceviche without fish? YOU DON’T.
You make a salad with a lime juice dressing. Duh.

I have known Gina on Twitter since forever and so I was thrilled when she said she and her husband Will would be coming to Sevilla. EXCEPT they were coming this week, while I would be away in Madrid. DAMMIT.
The good thing is that they arrived today and we were at least able to meet up for a short(ish) evening tapeo before I leave, ending with vermouth nightcaps with Esteban. And of course I have left them with lots of tips of other great places to eat while they are here.
Had a great time and am hoping they’ll be back soon!

Saw this on Twitter the other day and it’s true.
Once you see the spaniel you can’t unsee it. 😉

So these beauties have just arrived and now I’m all set for the Sherry Twitter Tasting 2019, Amontillado Edition, on November 5th, organised by Ruben @sherrynotes with the participation of the bodegas, the Consejo Regulador and us 15 lucky ducks who where chosen to take part.
The last time I did one of these was back in 2015 when I was chosen to participate in the Palo Cortado tasting.
Here’s the lineup…
A medium-aged example (15 years) with a rich and generous profile (vanilla, hazelnuts and a hint of sweetness). A classic Amontillado from Jerez.
Aged in Sanlúcar: 8 years under flor and 6 with oxygen. A good example of a spikey, maritime Amontillado.
One of the archetypes of Amontillado. After ageing for 10 years under flor, it ages further to a total 18 years. A single vineyard ‘Macharnudo Alto’ wine which evoques the albariza soil like no other.
One of the latest Añadas from this bodegas, an Amontillado of 18 years, aged statically and therefore showing an above-average intensity and a unique character.
One of the true gems of the sherry region, from a solera dating back to 1793. One of the very few natural Amontillados in existence – simply an amazing treat.
If you want to follow along pop onto Twitter on November 5th (19.00h CEST, UTV +1) and look for the #SherryTT hashtag.
