Talking wine with... Jorge Monje
29 October 2021
The classics never fail, your trusted wine?
Juan Gil, they never fail.
A tapa (or dish) that represents you?
A good Manchego ratatouille with quail's egg or cuttlefish meatballs from my mother's hometown, Ayamonte.
Here we are very much into bars, what is your favourite bar?
My brother Álvaro's bar: El Perro Flaco. Good food, unbeatable service and human quality.
Who would you dream of having a drink with? Dead or alive...
Meryl Streep or Marcello Mastroianni.
Song of the year?
Any of Enrique Morente's album Omega. It's not a recent one but it's still one of my favourite albums.
And the film of your life?
As a child I was a fan of The Goonies. As an adult I could choose from many: Fellini's La Strada, Wim Wenders' Paris Texas or Paul Thomas Anderson's There will be Blood.
What are we toasting to today?
To equality and respect for what is different from you.
