Always a good time. 🍷🥂

03 Monday Oct 2022

Verema is a fabulous wine event that is held all around Spain. When in Sevilla it takes place at the super posh Alfonso XIII Hotel, with more than 30 wineries in the showroom and several smaller tastings throughout the day. I’d had my invitation for quite some time and then at the last minute decided not to go today. Later when I saw this photo my friend Javi posted on his Instagram I was glad I didn’t. Maybe next year.

Had a great time at my third Verema event, held at the glorious Alfonso XIII Hotel, and featuring winemakers from all over Spain. I wondered if I should attend, what with the whole coronavirus threat, but somehow it only dawned on me after I was there that maybe this wasn’t the smartest move. Oh well, it’s done. At least I didn’t go back for the after-lunch session because I didn’t want to stress my sprained foot too much. It was great seeing old friends (the usual suspects) and meeting a few new ones too. Also got to know a few new wines. A good day. 🙂

This was the second Verema Wine Experience in Sevilla and, like last year’s, it was held in the splendid event rooms at the Alfonso XIII hotel. But unlike last year’s, out of the 40 or so Spanish bodegas present, there were none from the Marco de Jerez, which seemed a bit strange. Other than that, it was all very well-organised and we got to try several interesting wines before heading to the Cava Masterclass tasting. I think there will be more “cava education” in my future…
