ANYWAY WINE BAR

Mark Walsh visited Anyway Wine Bar in Málaga City, founded in 2018 by local entrepreneur David Camino after returning from working abroad to pursue his idea for a wine-centric concept in Málaga.

It is a wonderfully cool place for serious wine drinkers, quite near the paseo marítimo. It’s the perfect spot for an early evening drink after work, popular with the city’s creative crowd.

With over 200 wines, all served by the glass, the list is quite extraordinary. It is a constantly changing list, ranging from reasonably priced local wines to expensive high-end bottles, Spanish classics, local Andalusian varieties and organic wines; from organic wines to a large fortified wine sub-list.

David Camino is the sommelier and professional jamón cortador (jamón cutter). He hosts regular wine tastings at the bar and is also happy to set up a personal tasting in Spanish or English.

The wines tasted were:

Laderas de Sadella 2022 D.O. Sierras de Málaga - Romé y Garnacha.

La Clave 2022 D.O. Bierzo - 50% Garnacha Tintorera, 50% Mencía.

Glou Glou Sicilia - Nero d’Avola.

Ausás Interpretación Crianza 2022 D.O. Ribera del Duero - single-varietal Tinto Fino (Tempranillo).

Hacienda López de Haro Gran Reserva 2005 D.O. Rioja - Tempranillo y Graciano.

San Vicente 2007 D.O. Rioja - Tempranillo peludo.

El Maestro D.O. Málaga - Moscatel.

They also serve authentic charcuterie and cheese boards, along with a few starters and main courses. We started with an incredible 555 Arbequina Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Jamón Ibérico de Bellota 100%

With pan con tomate.

Chuletón de vaca Simmental

Rice, potatoes and romesco sauce.

The guys serving us were amazing, talking you through every wine and ingredient. It is a wonderful little place with limited seating, so it’s advisable to book in advance.
