Hola Tom I prefer manzanilla rather than fino de Jerez: best are Barbiana, Aurora, Goya. Many others good esp La Gitana. Avoid Muyfina and Zuleta. If you prefer Jerez, Tio Pepe remaing good, so does San Patricio. Of course you could choose amontillado, palo cortado or oloroso! My house red at the moment is Conde de Valdemar, the best value for money I know, both crianza and reserva (but not gran reserva). Anything from Cune, Marques de Murrieta or Lopez Heredia (Tondonia) can be trusted. The most reliable whites are from Galicia, from the Albariño grape: Laxas is good value but most are good. Navarra also has good wines: the white Otazu, from the chardonnay grape is my current house white. Good cheap cavas are Rovellats or Anna de Cordoniu. One of the best brandies is 1866 from Larios. Don´t drink them all at once! If you like sweet wines most from the Pedro Ximenez grape are reliable. Suerte Sean
