Sherry Manzanilla Barbiana, B. Rodríguez La-Cave, Half Bottle, 17.5%

Who doesn't love sherry? Well, apparently quite a lot of people, but my opinion is that you're all scarred by watching your nans drink Bristol Cream every Christmas. This is sherry as god intended, clean, crisp, refreshing, nutty, overall verdict: yummy. Manzanilla, made by the coast, is famous for having a saline hint of the sea, making it sensational as an aperitif with a bowl fo nuts and a bowl of olives. Heaven.

Served in a half bottle so you can have a little at a time, but will also last in the fridge for at least a week.
