The Corte Inglés Gourmet Experience and Probando Wines have put together a series of “jueves de cata” wine tastings, and the first one was this beautiful selection from Bodegas Diez Mérito. While all the sherries were outstanding, the VORS Fino Imperial amontillado totally blew me away. It was a very relaxed event, led by Fran León, and was followed by a sampling of sushi from Sushi Spot Corner, which we didn’t stay for. But hoping to catch the next tasting!

Spent a great afternoon today with my fabulous We Love Tapas team, showing them a new tapas tour route… the Tasting Triana Tour. This is actually something I’ve been doing myself for a few years, but thought it could be adapted for WLT. And I think it’s going to be a hit. I’m so fortunate to be working with Delia, José and Cinta and today their feedback, suggestions and enthusiasm about the tour were invaluable. Thanks guys! xx

Thursday was the first anniversary of Lama La Uva. Time sure flies, as it doesn’t seem like a whole year has passed since I went to the opening party. It’s great to see Ana doing so well and it’s clear to see how much she loves what she’s doing. Her wine tastings have become very popular and other people, myself included, are also using her upstairs tasting room for our own tours and events.

Congratulations Ana! Here’s to many more years.
