MAY «th Spain's favorite thirst-quencher . Smooth, versatile sherry is for cool summertime sipping Sherry is the favorite year-round thirst quencher in torrid Andalusia, along the southwest coast of Spain where it is produced, it is therefore ideal for festive sipping in all climates. Please> every palate This smooth, amber wine is available in a range of Styles, from very dry to sweet, to satisfy every palate. What's more. Sherry from Spain can properly be served from the chilled bottle, or on-the-rocks. or used for Sherry-based punches.

But other possible treats include country ham curled around breadsticks, grilled sausages, dates or prunes wrapped in bacon and grilled, miniature meat balls, slices of salami, sar­ dines, shrimps and other shellfish -- the list of pos­ sible canapes is endless. Cheeses, too, are a perfect accompaniment to Sherry. Drier Sherries stand up well to even the most pungent goat cheese or the sharpest blue cheese.
