RE: Spanish Wines (in reply to TANúñez)

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

Hola Tom The best way to drink manzanilla is directly from the barrel at bodega temperature. In Cádiz, the best place is Veedor, where it can be accompanied by mojama, jamon de 5 jotas, queso manchego or a selection of tortillas. Furthermore, you can take it away. Though a bodega en Sanlucar would be better still! I bought a litre yesterday for 5 euros and have just had it with a tapa of berberechos al vapor. Followed by salmon al horno with brown rice salad and a bottle of gerwurztraminer from Alsace: one cannot always be drinking Spanish wines when the best come from France and Germany Suerte Sean

Hola Kate Free tapas are a great asset to Granada. Apart from being free, it makes you feel happy. I used to visit Torre del Mar and they do it there too, but in Cádiz you have to pay I like gambas al ajillo (pronounced gambajillo), carillada, and turbante de lenguado, stuffed with seafood or vegetables.
