They drink manzanilla as an aperitif regularly, and fino frequently too, but not so much the darker varieties. I'm guessing that it's climate-related. They'd mix fino with say, fizzy lemonade as a refreshing drink. That and jugs of chilled sangría. Cádiz is great. Friends in Cádiz introduced me to sherry.

However it worked surprisingly well against the tartness of the soup. My favorites are the olorosos, especially the old ones - they're dark but dry, with an incredible, salty complexity. A friend swears by the palo cortados - I just got one for the first time, but haven't opened it yet. I think sherry may be the best bargain in wine. I just hope it doesn't get discovered and go the way of, say, Alsatian. Well, it is sweet, so I can understand why he said that. However it worked surprisingly well against the tartness of the soup.
