Virginia Naranjo (39),
who had entered the fourth edition of the competition with her twin sister, has won the competition. The prizewinning menu was all based on Jerez or Sherry. Her prize
is 10,000 euros, a course at the Basque Culinary Centre and a book publishing
deal. Her 15 year old daughter entered her for the show. Now Virginia is
thinking about opening something in Jerez but will take her time.
Sanlúcar’s Dia de la
Manzanilla (actually three days) starts today with free tastings and visits to bodegas Barbadillo, La
Cigarrera, Covisan, Delgado Zuleta, Argüeso, La Gitana and La Guita. On
Saturday there will be a walk round the city, “un paseo por la Manzanilla” with
sights, stories and anecdotes about Manzanilla, to really get the feel of it
and its origins. Separately, the famous beach horse races have been declared
Patrimony of Humanity.
