Join us for at 116 Crown for “The Sherry Games” which include competitions in Venencia Pouring and Spanish Language Bingo.

Venencia Competition:

            A “venencia” is a traditional tool of the sherry bodega.  Used to sample wine from a barrel, it is a slim tin cup attached to a long, bendable shaft crafted from whalebone.  With the flourish of a matador, from this tiny cup wine is poured at a distance into an even tinier copita tasting glass. [www.sherrynotes.com/2016/background/venencia-cana/]

            The competition is simple:  give the venencia a go, the person who gets the most water in the cup and looks the coolest while doing it, wins.

 Spanish Language Bingo!:

            Students of Spanish Language, come one, come all! Bingo really needs no introduction.  We will have 2 Bingo! cards to choose from: beginner/intermediate and intermediate/advanced.  For those of us with just a lick of Spanish under our belts, don’t worry, we have beginners booklet to help you play the game.

Prizes will be awarded to the winners of the games.
