jerezI’ve been working on a few projects over the past couple of months and the one that seems most likely to happen the soonest is this one – my brand new Introduction to Sherry tours!

You may recall the recent impromptu World Sherry Day event that I created for myself on the fly last May… well, that really turned my head and heart around in terms of how I felt about sherry. And having had that experience I thought I would really like others to have that – or something similar – too.

And so… presenting my Introduction to Sherry tours! Starting in October.

Still a bit of work to be done,  getting the bars sorted and also the food and wine pairings, but I am very excited about this. A simple yet intelligent one-night-only sherry experience. I really want to present this in the same way I would like to experience something like this (same as I do with the tapas tours) though there is still some homework to do…

But it should all be up and running by October.  🙂

how grapes are made
This made me smile when I saw it on Twitter so I thought I’d share. 🙂
Couldn’t see a source for it but it reminds me of the clever photos created by Big Appetites.

This new Facebook Page is a collaboration by selected food tour and culinary professionals throughout the country whose aim is to contribute articles and food porn photos on a regular basis. We’re just getting started and have yet to work out scheduling and whatnot, but some great photos have already been put up so why not take a look?

I mean, how can you not “LIKE” a page called Delicious Spain… ?

feria de la manzanilla
Hot on the heels of my successful World Sherry Day event I thought I’d try to recreate my own Feria de la Manzanilla here this past weekend, since I couldn’t get to the actual Feria in Sanlúcar de Barrameda (crap bus schedule from Sevilla). But although we ate and drank well that day it didn’t feel as special as my afternoon WSD thing, mostly because the waiters and bar people weren’t really into talking about the wines and suggesting good food parings. Ah well, win some lose some.

I get to win again soon because I was speaking to the brand manager from Gonzalez Byass in Jerez and told him that, inspired by my WSD experience, I wanted to start doing Introduction to Sherry tours but I needed to learn more about sherry. So he promised to give me a private sherry tasting class here in Sevilla, including food pairings. Can’t wait!
