Tomorrow we leave Lisbon to head to Spain with the two Andrés to celebrate the 4th anniversary of the #winelovers. The wines of Jerez have long been amongst our favourites. They are some of the few wines that we buy in the UK.
The last time I was in Jerez was in 1997 – shoicked at how long since I have been back in this great region with its lovely and fascinating wines.
The programme that has been put together for us #winelovers looks great!
