Ver mensaje de suikoMas d’en Compte will be difficult to find when I have all the production :^D...
I don’t know if it is hard to find or not for I go to Priorat to buy it.
Fino... Manzanilla, looks a no risk bet for summer, but I will definetively choose a cava instead... with some shell-fish, seafood and so on in summer, with best friends...
I think the Cava/Fino dilema is quite a cultural thing... (I’m so close to Sant Sadurní d’Anoia! :^D), as a child I tried cava in ’great’ feasts: Xmas, weddings, birthdays,.... but never fino...
Salut!

There is no dilemma here... just pick both! #-D
Ver mensaje de JoanFAnyhow I know what do you mean with cultural issue... Maybe ’cos I don’t have a cultural background related to wine and I’ve began, almost, from scratch I’m not biased to any of them... I do love both! :)))
Cheers,

Re: Breakfast? Well... it’s ok for a breakfast! @-D

but I’m Irish...fino with bacon egg sausage and black pudding ??
surely a dense priorat !
though that serrano ham is tempting ! and fino with ham is like Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers !
Sonny and Cher
Abbot and Costello
Laurel and Hardy
Ok I’ll stop now and take my tablets !!!

Ver mensaje de joseNo cultural bias here either, but I’d go for a fino any day (or breakfast)!

Re: Spains best white wine ?
Ver mensaje de rayolVinya Gravonia is a cheap bet (8 euros)... but since the bank only owns half of your house (lucky you!) you might try the Vinya Tondonia 1987, and even the 1981 (this one I love) ... when you pay the house, try the 1964 and you’ll be white-LdHolic for ever! ;) ... Jose Pariente is another one that I like (I do not like any hint of sweetness in my whites, and I am overly enthusiastic about ";heaviness";, so even if I sort of enjoy Spanish viognier, white grenache and the alikes, they are not my turff ... I prefer their frenchie cousins, and even those are not among my favourites ... so you can ";calibrate"; my reccomendations).

Ooops! ... I am NOT overly enthusiastic

I’ been Santiago de Compostela two weeks ago, there I tasted the Ribeiro ";Vilerma 2003";, it was terrific , aromatic flowers , aples , in the mouth well structured , no so complex and grateful.
