The great Sweet and Fortified Wine fair held every two years
since 2000 at the Alcazar in Jerez will take place again in 2014. This year’s
event was cancelled due to lack of support from the Jerez Council and the
Regional Government. The 2014 event will likely take place during the second
fortnight of May or the first fortnight of June.
The chief organiser of the last event was Pancho Campo of
the Wine Academy, and it is hoped that Jesus Barquin of Equipo Navazos will be
in charge for the next event. While available finances are still tight, every
effort will be made to do more with less in order to retain the quality and
professional ambience of the event.
In his recently published book "Jesus of Nazareth, The Infancy Narratives", Pope Benedict XVI claims that the Three Kings came from Tartessus, which is thought to have been in the Sherry area. The whole thing is surrounded in archaeological and historical doubt, but it is possible. Maybe, just maybe, one of the gifts to the infant might have been Sherry?!
