Highlights of delicious days in Alicante and Valencia 1) with David Carbonell @davins of @fondillonluisxiv giving a size reference for his towering amphoras 2) and we are doing the same thing for his sturdy #oldvines #Monastrell 3) @juanjosesellesperez, the expert selfie-taker, with @pepe_mendoza_casa_agricola. We’re drinking the 🔝Fierroca, his Gran Cru, it’s 100% Giro, super elegant, from this vineyard. 4) Always plenty to talk and taste with Pepe, and to catch up with his daughter, the social media star. 5) Lunch with @gratias_wines @uncuineralescoleta, tasting and 6) discovering how they have #crowdfunded wine projects. 7) Pitstop @filoxeraycia.pilaresteve. Their orange wine in my hands) has always been a favourite. 8) And there had to be Rice to follow. 9) In the land of Fondillon, Alicante’s historic wine, I had to finish with some sweet treats and Vini do meditazioni. First, the aptly named ‘infinite patience’ is a delicious sweet creation by Pepe Mendoza at just 14.5%. 10) And finally, the outstanding #fondillon from @fondillonluisxiv, a remarkable story of discovery of a forgotten cellar with exceptional wines. And alongside its junior relative the ‘Noble’. @vinosalicantedop @visit_valencia #mediterraneanwine #spainwine #monastrell #monastrellalicante #verdil #valenci #tortosí #giró

What would you do? I ADORE egg and chips. But in crisp form? In the end I lost my nerve and bought the regular packet of plain, unsalted crisps. #quandary #potatocrisps #crazyideas

TODAY! Ribera del Duero on show - doesn’t miss it! Just off Berkeley Square. Tinto Fino, Albillo, whites, roses and reds. Open till 5.

Great preview evening for Chocolate Unwrapped. Congratulations @nudge_pr and @paulyoungchef! Fine cacao galore from @firetreechocolate @pumpstreetchocolate @cocoarunners @chocolatedetective @aneeshpopat @guittardchocolate plus @knoopschocolate @bouverycv and many more.

There’s still time to book! The Escoffier Room @westminster_kingsway_college in London’s Vincent Square has a terrific Portuguese menu this week matched with glorious wines from @altasquintas_portalegre - the highest spot in Alentejo at 1000+m. Fresh, authentic wines being recuperated by winemaker @tiagomlcorreia. There was a brilliant soup, with a wonderful reduction, and partridge and an empanada for the main, but I was too busy enjoying myself to take photos. Look out for the wines as they come into the UK market - and make that booking @westminster_kingsway_college. Thanks for the invite @wild_food_boy. And thank you to the student chefs and service team. 🍾🙏💯. #hospitality #portugal #portuguesewine #arinto #touriganacional

On the trail of the conquistadors #Trujillo #Pizarro #extremadura #spain

Fascinating premiere today at the London Spanish Film Festival of La Primera Mirada, a documentary about the Spanish Film School and its work in the Franco years. Illuminating discussion with director and leading film history expert Luis E Parés about political memory, freedom of expression and the student’ portrayals of the ruin and melancholy of the post Civil War. Student clips from filmmakers such as Victor Erice, Carlos Saura, Luis García Berlanga.

My wine of the year. Hard to believe anything can better it!
