Mercadona do a 5 litre box of amontillado - it's called Fino Montiole. I use it for cooking - it's fabulous with Spanish roast chicken. Never seen cream sherry in Spain.

I buy creams and pale creams in all the usual supermarkets...Hipercor, Carrefour, Mercadona.

I assumed they were all readily available in Spain but obviously not!

It's wine harvest time at the moment....I'm going to a sherry tasting tonight

badly designed website, too many pale colours in the fonts not sticking out from the background picture.

Where are you looking? I only found white pages with black fonts, and white fonts with black background, but got bored looking after half a dozen or so pages!

For anyone within striking distance of Jerez and an interest in sherry, last opportunity to go the sherry & tapa tasting tonight:

well followed your link, got a nice front page full of glasses, clicked on Amontillado glass and got a page with zoom in view of a glass over which is White spiel with pale Brown and Red paragraph titles
http://www.sherry.org/EN/fichaamontillado.cfm

didnt stay long enough to get bored, it wasnt possible to read the words

Hmm. Very curious! I get the same zoom in of a glass with the white text & pale brown titles...........but over a black (slightly transparent) background! It is easy to read. Why do we see different things when we look at the same page? What is happening here????

PD - The webpage is much sharper than my low res screen shot.

Maybe some glasses or new glasses are in order Dom.
I'm even wearing some old ones because I can't be bothered going in another room to get my currant glasses...the page looks fine and easy to read to me.

Don't think so!
I need a total re-fit and I've already got two titanium bars holding me together.
Just to keep it on topic...I wonder if sherry would help.

Funny that.....it was our anniversary today and we went for a meal with friends, lots of red wine followed by Spanish Cava, not feeling a thing at the moment.... but I am rather sleepy, I actually fell asleep at my desk at one point.
