Jerez academic José Luís Jiménez is to give a presentation
on Sherry in Japan
at the invitation of the University of Shinshu. The presentation will be
accompanied by Sherry from Bodegas Williams & Humbert. The two nations have
long diplomatic relations and Sherry has always been enjoyed in Japan, where
there is growing interest in it along with Andaluz culture. This has been ably
promoted, especially through Sherry Week, by Tomoko Kimura, a Japanese Sherry
Educator living in Jerez.
