Winter is hitting the UK pretty hard at the moment. To warm up I suggest sherry and it seems the Gonzalez Byass Apostoles Palo Cortado and the Waitrose Palo Cortado (by Lustau). They have both been tipped by two other writers in as many days…

1. Tim’s Wine Blog (Tim has been tasting quite a bit of sherry recently, so read through earlier posts).

2. Andrew Neather at the Evening Standard.
