We enjoy walking along the waterfront of Puerto de Santa Maria and dropping in to visit our friends Juan Carlos Gutiérrez Colosía and his warm and delightful wife Carmen Pau who own a boutique sherry bodega located close to the pedestrian ferry to Cádiz. We are always greeted with extravagant warmth by the couple, and Carmen speaks flawless English. The winery is a work of love, a truly family enterprise.
Their lovely daughter Carmencita might show you around their intimate wine cellar should your visits coincide. In addition to a cellar full of singular sherries, they also have an amazing selection of rich and pungent sherry vinegars, such as you have never tasted before. Their vinegars are the only ones we use at home, both in cooking and on our vinaigrette-laced salads.
You can stop by the bodega on your next visit to Spain and you will probably meet our friends there. We think the couple represents the very best of Spain.
