I had a great time earlier this month visiting one of the oldest and most traditional bodegas in Jerez de la Frontera. Perhaps less well-known than some of the 'big names', yet the wines and the overall experience was memorable.

Wine of the week is the Albahra 2023 by Envínate. It’s a wine that almost everyone seems to like. And as @clynch83.bsky.social writes, a success with a guest who describes it as a ‘hip wine’.
