On the grapevine

I was fortunate to receive two copies of the excellent book about Manzanilla, by Christopher Fielden and Javier Hidalgo, published by Grub Street. I will be happy to put my spare copy in the post to the person who can tell me in (about) 75 words why they like Manzanilla. The best description of an occasion, taste or event involving Manzanilla will win. Email entries to my address below, by next Wednesday, August 4.
