The International
Sherry Week website is now up and running. After the success of last year’s
World Sherry Day, it was felt that one day was insufficient to squeeze in all
the 300 events in 29 countries, and it has been extended to a week. This year’s
event, from the 2nd – 8th of June, will have ambassadors such as Jose Pizarro,
owner of London tapas bar Jose and restaurant Pizarro, Angel Leon, Michelin-starred
owner of the famous Poniente restaurant in El Puerto de Santa Maria and the
sommelier Cristina Losada, among other internationally known names.
There will be a wealth of events this year, including
tastings, interactive online tastings, maridajes (food and Sherry matching)
along with cultural events such as Flamenco, theatre and festivals. For information on how you can be involved, look at the
website: www.isherryweek.com
There is a new guide
to Jerez Application available for your Android or i.phone. The website is www.guiadejerez.com/descargar/html.
It is a fantastic tool for those who are not familiar with Jerez, and is a lot
handier than maps.
Semana Santa
(Holy Week starts on the 13th
and runs till the 20th of this month in Jerez. It is the most
spectacular series of processions of huge thrones carried through the streets
by many people, bands and penitents. Just one more reason to visit Jerez this
year.
