News from Jerez 7.6.12

First, The Consejo Regulador has released a Sherry Tasting Kit, so one can learn about Sherry any time, anywhere. It consists of a little box containing 6 samples of the various types of Sherry, an explanatory booklet and an interactive CD ROM. It can be obtained by contacting the Consejo at www.sherry.org/formacion.

Second, more news about the Tio Pepe sign in Madrid. An "avalanche" of public, business and political support has been received for the sign to stay put in the Puerta del Sol, No.1. Over 20,000 have voiced protest online so far. Coca Cola has offered Gonzalez Byass a site on their Madrid HQ at Barajas if they have to move it and GB are considering the offer, but are going to try their best to keep it in the Puerta del Sol, ideally in its original site. Another offer has been received from an estate agent also in the Puerta del Sol.
