It takes two to tapas: As our fascination and penchant for casual dining escalates Gawen Rudder discovers so too has our appetite for tapas with a twist

摘要

Modulated in a single sensual unbridled breath with clinking chilled glasses of fine fino, my bride and I reflected on translation, transition and tapas. Translation: She tells me 'salud pesetas y amor...' means 'greetings (cheers!) and money and loveand the time to enjoy.' A gracious toast in any language. Transition: This starts with the first fine fino sip of Delgado Zuleta 'La Goya' Manzanilla Pasada - Sanlucar de Barremeda. In every way a mouthful. Manzanilla is the name of a distinctive dry sherry style that comes from the seaside town of Sanlucar de Barremeda, on the southern tip of Spain. 'La Goya' retains a sea tang and hints of fresh chamomile flowers (manzanilla is Spanish for chamomile). The mood is set. The palate sharpened and cleansed, it's time to be transported through the tapas choices.
