That's it. Most likely, and for sure the MOST flamenco drink. Fino looks kind of the same and tastes similar...very dry sherries both. When my store runs out of manzanilla I accept Fino as the closest substitute. A favorite brand is La Gitana. Have to agree with Ricardo that manzanilla is the most flamenco drink, with fino (muy seco) sherry a close second. I personally prefer amontillado, however, which probably explains my mediocre guitar playing. (That's a better excuse than admitting to a lack of talent.) For anyone in the Washington, DC area who is unaware of it, I think the finest place to buy really good wines, sherries, manzanilla, port, etc. is Calvert-Woodley on Connecticut Avenue. Great stock. Cheers, Bill
