By Discover Sherry10/28/2018

El restaurante La Carbona de Jerez, celebró sus bodas de plata. 25 años en el precioso casco antiguo de bodega donde Javier Muñoz hijo, crea una magnífica cocina en la que el vino de jerez juega un papel muy importante, por eso es conocido como el “Chef del Sherry”.

The La Carbona Restaurant in Jerez, celebrated its Silver (25th) Anniversary in the beautiful setting which formerly was a winery, and where, now, Javier Muñoz, Jr., creates his magnificent dishes. His style of cuisine is one in which Sherry wines play a significant role . That is why he is known as the ” Sherry Chef”.Asistimos a dos de las actividades que organizaron para celebrar este acontecimiento. Una fue en el Teatro Villamarta. La verdad es que no sabíamos muy bien qué esperar pero el programa se presentó en forma muy original como “un menú de restaurante”. Fue espectacular, una puesta en escena de lo más original, opera, baile y cante flamenco acompañados de la música del arpa, coro, locuciones… Fue muy emotivo, divertido, interesante…increíble. Disfrutamos a tope.

We attended two of the activities that were organized as part of the month-long celebration. One was a musical and very emotive presentation that was held at the Villamarta Theater. Beforehand, we did not know what to expect, but the printed program was cleverly presented to us that night in the form of a “restaurant menu.” The evening was truly spectacular. It was a very original series of excellent performances by opera, flamenco singing and dancing accompanied by harp music, a chorus, speeches…. It was moving, fun, interesting, captivating…and incredible. A very enjoyable evening was had by all. Gracias a toda la Familia Muñoz. Thank you to the Muñoz Family.(Fotos/Photos Diario de Jerez)A la llegada nos dieron una bolsita con un catavino y una botellita de un magnífico oloroso. Las casi mil persona que estábamos en el teatro brindamos por los 25 años de La Carboná.

Upon our arrival, we were given a small bag containing a Sherry glass and a small bottle of some magnificent Oloroso Sherry. At the end of the presentation, almost a thousand persons in attendance that night, were able to simultaneously join in making a toast to the La Carboná restaurant´s 25th anniversary.

También asistimos a la cena ofrecida en La Carboná por el chef Victor Martín del Restaurante Trigo de Valladolid con una estrella Michelín. Los platos elaborados con productos típicos de Castilla-León se armonizaron con vinos de la D.O. Ribera del Duero (Quintana del Pidio). Una experiencia estupenda.

The dinner which we attended at La Carboná was prepared by Chef Victor Martín. He traveled from the Trigo Restaurant Valladolid which has been awarded a Michelin star. The courses served were prepared with traditional products from the Spanish province of Castilla-León. They were harmonized with wines from the Ribera del Duero D.O. (Quintana del Pidio winery). A wonderful experience.

Hemos disfrutado muchas veces de la cocina del Chef del Sherry con visitas de Sherry Explorers de Nueva York, Phoenix, San Sebastian, California, Texas, y recuerdo que el grupo de las AWC (American Women´s Club) de Sevilla hicieron su juramento de Sherry Explorers aquí en La Carboná.

We have enjoyed the Sherry Chef´s culinary delights on several occasions. Some of the most memorable visits were in company of Sherry Explorers from New York, Phoenix, San Sebastian,California and Texas. I also recall a very special occasion when a group of Sherry Explorers from the AWC (American Women´s Club) of Sevilla were sworn-in as Sherry Explorers at La Carboná.¡¡Os deseamos muchos más años de éxito!!
