ONE NAPANTERI MORE

I have tried to find the origin of the word "napanteri", which is still used in Finland if you ordering or drinking beverages straight in small portions. Normally this expression has been used when consuming Finnish vodka Koskenkorva or blended cognac Jaloviina. In Spain similar words are  "tapon" or "chupito", in English grog or shot.

FINO CB FROM ALVEAR

Alvear's sherry type wine, FINO CB is  from Pedro Ximenez grapes matured FINO  from Montilla -Moriles district  . Just excellent and " poly-faced", with some arctic cloudberry taste in the background . Solera and criadera method gives it a pleasant  sophisticated taste, which a gourmand can enjoy with e.g Italian Zucotto Strave cheese.
