In spite of the fact that having this really super cool wine cellar with plexiglass cover would mean my wine cellar would actually be in my downstairs neighbour’s apartment… I still want it! Discovered this the other night in a bar while on a tapas tour. Isn’t it fabulous?

I love connections like this.
My friend Saray had helped me organise some orange-themed product info for my friend José Pizarro’s visiting friend Sarah last month. Since then the general director of BurNarj, whose family makes this lovely orange sparkling wine, has been in touch with me, asking if I’d like to have a private tasting. And as special as that sounded, I thought it would actually be more fun with other people to share the experience with. So I invited a couple of friends and yesterday we spent a very pleasant couple of hours trying this unique wine.
Most orange wines are simply grape wines that are somehow flavoured/infused with orange, but this is the very first sparkling wine in the world that is actually made from 100% orange juice from orchards growing along the banks of the Guadalquivir River. It doesn’t get much more Andaluz than that!
Have a look at my blog post on Azahar’s Sevilla for more info…

What a day. Went to get my chemo port cleaned out this morning and for the second month running they’ve had trouble with “blockage”, which apparently I’m not supposed to worry about. Hmmmm…
This was followed by a midday wine tasting that I was invited to (just 15 guests) for Colonias de Galeón and, after a short rest at home, I am now heading out to taste these babies… limited edition old finos from Gonzalez Byass. You can read more about the tasting on my azahar Sevilla blog: Finos Palmas 2013.
And if you like you can follow it live streaming at 7 pm Spanish time.
