Fino Sherry. The hot sunny weather has tempted me into a sneaky early afternoon glass of wine, and there’s only one choice* for this weather: Fino Sherry, straight from the fridge. This one, Tio Pepe, is one of the biggest brands, but it’s actually really good. Fresh, a bit nutty, a bit salty with some subtle spicy undertones, finishing off with a lovely ‘tang’. Available just about everywhere for around £8, but often on promotion.
*Technically not strictly true. Cold Provencal rose would also be quite nice, as would a chilled pale ale or some fizz. But you get the point.

I could not agree more. We really need to convince the US drinkers that its worth the time to acquire the taste for Fino! Cheers TMcD
just had another sneaky glass with lunch – on another splendid baking hot day – I’m on kid supervision duty today so may not get all that much work done this afternoon
