openingThere’s a new wine shop in town, very dangerously located about a three-minute walk from my house. Welcome Lama La Uva and its founder Ana Linares, whose idea is to help us reach all the good grapes (unlike the fox from the fable), so no sour grapes for us.

I was invited to the opening this week and went along with @SVQconcierge and @JetslikeTaxis. It’s a small attractive space, with the shop downstairs and the tasting room above on a mezzanine. Along with the wines you can also purchase quality food items, and there will also be some wines available to try before you buy. Have to say that Plaza Regina is fast becoming one of the hippest places in town.

charlie-sam-1I first met Charlie & Sam @vinoveroleigh in London last August, when I was invited to a rooftop dinner at our mutual friend Oli’s place. So I was delighted to hear that they were going to Jerez for a few days and would be stopping by Sevilla on their way home. Being sherry lovers, well, I guess this was inevitable…charlie-sam-2Check out their great wine shop here… Vino Vero
