Bodega

Wine cellar or wine-producing company. Curiously, a single wine company may nonetheless use the plural form bodegas in its name, as in Bodegas Ismael Arroyo.

If you drank as much English tea as I do (9 cups a day), you’d know that a Jammie Dodger is an English biscuit—specifically a shortbread one with a sticky jam filling. (Just right when it’s 3 pm, at least another two hours to go writing chapters for the third edition of The Wine Bible). Other classic English biscuits include: the Cadbury Finger, Fox’s Crunch Cream, the Hobnob, and the compellingly named Digestive.
