28.5.13 Bodegas Barbadillo Win 10 IWSC Medals; Andaluz Flamenco Centre is 25

Bodegas Barbadillo of Sanlucar have won no less than 10 medals at the recent International Wine and Spirit Challenge, including two golds, for the Manzanilla en Rama and the VORS Palo Cortado. Silver medals went to Amontillado Principe, Palo Cortado Obispo Gascon, while bronze went to the Amontillado VORS, Manzanilla Solear, Oloroso Dulce San Rafael, Oloroso Dulce VORS, PX La Cilla, and a table wine they make. Honourable mention went to Oloroso Cuco, Oloroso VORS, and three other table wines. That is no mean achievement.

The Centro Andaluz de Flamenco in Jerez is celebrating its 25th anniversary. When it first opened there was a gala of flamenco with the great stars of the day . The centre has a fantastic collection of over 800 books, a sound archive and a photographic archive. A must visit.
