Who still likes a sherry?

I love a sherry in the winter, late afternoon, preferably by the fire.

Anyone agree? 😬

Sherry=Christmas

Croft Original

joystir59 · 14/11/2020 16:55

I have bought my Christmas bottle. When does Christmas start?

lifestooshort123 · 14/11/2020 16:55

A Tio Pepe or Manzanilla straight from the fridge - over ice even.

partystress · 14/11/2020 16:56

Me! Holding off buying it because once it’s in the house it calls to me. Will try to stay strong til 1 December but feel my resolve weakening as the days get shorter

Didiusfalco · 14/11/2020 16:58

Yes - me! It’s been a while since I’ve had a bottle though, feel it’s more a winter drink. What is nice?

ZadieZadie · 14/11/2020 17:00

Ooooooh Pedro Ximinez (sp?). Godly nectar.

I am a disgrace as I like sweet sherry. It reminds me of my granny and celebration lunches and Christmas

My sil used to get given a bottle every year by a supplier and every year it made its way to me. Damn her for leaving that job.

HotSince63 · 14/11/2020 17:02

I don't think I've ever tried sherry in my life, and now I feel I must.

Any recommendations for a nice one?

Whattheduck · 14/11/2020 17:05

A nice sweet sherry it reminds me of my dear Nanna who used to make me a sherry shandy (sherry and lemonade) at Christmas.I also love a sherry trifle.

MrsMoastyToasty · 14/11/2020 17:05

I've not drunk it since I went to an informal (meaning you don't spit it out) sherry tasting at Harvey's years ago and got absolutely banjaxed. In my defense it was about 10 different sherrys.

Deathraystare · 14/11/2020 17:05

I like Harveys in trifle but to drink prefer a dry one but rarely have one now.

WanderlustWitch · 14/11/2020 17:09

I prefer it in trifle but I'd happily accept a glass of Harvey's if offered.

DobbyTheHouseElk · 14/11/2020 17:11

Love it.

mamaduckbone · 14/11/2020 17:11

Only at Christmas, preferably before dinner and with my mum. It wouldn't taste right at any other time.

june2007 · 14/11/2020 17:11

Yes please, I ;ike sweet and dry not croft.

desperatetostaypositive · 14/11/2020 17:12

Harvey's Bristol Cream is a must for the winter drinks cupboard! My daughter age 23 also loves it.

justgeton · 14/11/2020 17:12

Oh Croft Original is just delicious. And dangerously moreish 😂

It feels such a treat (I'm sure it's not really) and strangely decadent.

Can you tell I'm a big fan 😂

Love a sherry.

H and I went all middle-class after university and drank Tio Pepe and manzanilla which I still enjoy, but I've taken to having the odd Harvey's as I regress to my childhood Grin

Currently we are drinking faux-sherry made from parsnips and raisins.

Toddlerteaplease · 14/11/2020 17:13

Bristol cream. Yummy!

Idroppedthescrewinthetuna · 14/11/2020 17:14

I had a sherry with my breakfast in bed this morning. Its my birthday and a sherry is the best way to start it with Smile

merryhouse · 14/11/2020 17:14

Croft Original is posh in my book though not at all in reality. Punch magazine used to have adverts for it featuring Jeeves and Wooster (this would be late seventies, I think).

wowfudge · 14/11/2020 17:14

Love a Harvey's Bristol Cream with a mince pie. I do like Fino too.

AdaColeman · 14/11/2020 17:16

Oh I love a sherry, always have some in, lovely with some cubes of cheese and celery salt before dinner.
