It's supposed to be how finos used to be before decimalisation, women voting etc. It's delicious. And Gonzalex Byass now do an unfiltered Tio Pepe called Fino En Rama which I keep meaning to buy. The Fino Perdido is only 7.95 (pounds). I love the Navazos wines but they are a little dear.<br /><br />HenryHenry Jeffreyshttp://worldoffbooze.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-24828796035996880722011-08-13T03:28:15.905-04:002011-08-13T03:28:15.905-04:00Neil,

It is light to medium straw (my visual observation skills, though, are admitedly a bit lacking...) Next, a question - do you recall if Valdespino inocente is filtered? You should compare this to the La Bota fino bottling. As I've mentioned previously online and to other folks, I prefer the Valdespino bottling. Finally, the color of a fino is not only attributed to filtering or lack thereof or bottling date, but also to the age of the solera (older solera, of course, equals more golden). Compare La Cigarrera (older solera) to La Gitana (younger). <br /><br />You're overdue for a trip to Jerez. Next year is vinoble, you should go.Joe Manekinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15920171629129831900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-6953947918502688192011-07-23T07:09:06.659-04:002011-07-23T07:09:06.659-04:00And we have to point out the lovely unfiltered fin...And we have to point out the lovely unfiltered fino from Fernando Castilla...Tistanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3799854524070158890.post-62183972367056436072011-07-21T10:06:26.954-04:002011-07-21T10:06:26.954-04:00Equipo Navazos also makes a beautiful wine from th...Equipo Navazos also makes a beautiful wine from the Palamino Fino grape in Jerez. Aged for 10 mos. Sherry characteristics, but one heck of an interesting wine made by Quim Vila and Dirk Nieport.Lindsay Rongahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067023478185744832noreply@blogger.com
