News from Jerez 1.8.12

At a recent meeting between the Mayor of Jerez, Maria Jose Garcia Pelayo and councillors, and Beltran Domecq and Cesar Saldana, President and Director General respectively of the Consejo, the two parties agreed to continue collaborating, and especially for the forthcoming harvest festival (Fiesta de la Vendimia), which of course is really all about Sherry.

Meanwhile in Mallorca, a judge in Palma has ordered the arrest of Jose Maria Ruiz Mateos for failing to appear at court on fraud charges connected with the purchase of a local hotel. Ruiz Mateos blamed his absence on a broken foot, but the judge ruled that there were insufficient medical or legal grounds for him not to appear on a new date set for the 23rd August. She said that while he had rights, one of them was not to laugh at justice.
