Finalist in the 2015 US Sherry Cocktail Competition
The Show-Me Shandy is a great introduction to Sherry because of its familiar flavors - hops and lemonade, combined with the new dry, crisp Sherry. It's a great gateway to these wines.

serving and consuming
Pairing Fino with food
It is an ideal aperitif wine and goes well with all types of tapa, especially olives, nuts and Iberian cured ham.
Also providing the perfect companion for shellfish and fish, especially those with a marked salty taste (anchovies) or even raw (sashimi).
Its low acetic acid content combines exceptionally well with dishes of marked acidity (vinaigrette salads, marinades, etc.) as well as with cold soups (gazpacho, ajo blanco, etc.).
