Vinoble Jerez – 3rd to 5th June 2018
Our first involvement with Vinoble started back in January and February of 2018 ( we shared with you here) when we wrote “An Introduction to D.O. Montilla-Moriles Wines” for the official Vinoble website.
On this trip, we spent two nights in Sevilla then headed to Jerez de la Frontera for five nights to experience Vinoble for the first time.
The International Wine Fair, Vinoble, provided us with many highlights, including two tastings which we will write about seperately.
Initially we spent most of our time in the D.O.P. Montilla-Moriles pavillion catching up with our many friends from the region. An added bonus of meeting up with our very dear friend from Portland, Oregon Seana aka @SherrySips, who we had met in person for the first time in September 2016. We also met a couple of online friends for the first time in Paula aka @soleravieja and Guilermo aka @guillermomdv.
