“Catarte”, the Company owned by master brewer
and winemaker Jaime Pindado, has opened right in the centre of Jerez, in the Calle San Marcos. This
is the city’s first craft brewery. The beers will be branded “La Jerezana” and
individual brews will be named after Flamenco styles such as Bulería, Alegría
or Fandango according to the raw materials used. The brewery has space dedicated
to education, talks and tastings for the general public and also for the sale
of equipment for home brewing.
“El
Relojero de Jerez” is the brainchild of Jerez couple Juan Manuel and Nuria. He spent 18 years working with
clocks and felt like a change, so they decided to open a wine bar in Caños de
Meca, a popular tourist resort on the coast at Barbate, not far from Jerez.
Despite the doubts of many, they converted a garage into a wine bar where you
can buy a glass or fill a bottle, and in no time the locals and tourists found
this to be a great regular meeting place.

The barrels
contain Fino, Mosto, Manzanilla, Amontillado, Vermouth, Cream and Pedro
Ximénez. As many people try the wine before buying, they felt they should offer
some food to avoid wine on an empty stomach and provide butifarras and morcilla
(sausages and black pudding) as well as ham, tuna, cheese and mojama (cured
tuna). Customers can buy wine to take away and or drink there in among the oak
barrels and old clocks. The address is: Despacho de Vino El Relojero de
Jerez, Avenida Trafalgar, 94, Caños de Meca, Barbate.
