Jerez Wine

It’s got everything: Bulls, vines, harvest, feria, sherry…

This just in a second ago.

MsMarmite does Sherry: Read all about it.

Would love to have been a fly on the wall…

I’ve just clocked this piece by Patricia Langton on the Harpers website. A positive article about the future of good quality sherry in London.

Patricia mentions two restaurants, Barrica and Number 22 and also says a sherry bar is due to open early 2010 (whoo hoo). Called Bar Pepito, it will be a side-kick to Camino in Kings Cross.

There are also another couple of other restos I should mention, which have interesting sherry lists: Salt Yard and Dehesa.

All these restaurants have been added to my London Restaurants page.

I was promised a tip-off by Graham Hines of The Sherry Institute in the UK, but it never came, so I missed this. The only UK press article I can find, in the Mirror, says “exclusive”, so perhaps that’s why.

Anyway, Carol Anne Duffy, the new Poet Laureate came to Jerez to pick up her butt of sherry. A Manzanilla apparently.
