Tio Pepe
A Chef's View
Santiago Guerrero, head chef at London restaurant, Iberica Food and Culture, explains the relationship between food and sherry:
"There is a fantastic chemistry between food and sherry and the diversity of this drink lends itself to many different textures and flavours and makes it ideal for tapas-style eating. Tio Pepe is a great food wine as it enhances flavours, cuts through oiliness and refreshes the palate."
Limited Edition
Tio Pepe
Fino En Rama
In June, to celebrate 175 years of producing great sherry, Gonzalez Byass released a limited edition Tio Pepe. Tio Pepe Fino En Rama is taken from the middle of the cask when the flor (the covering of yeast) is at its thickest. It truly captures the very essence of this great Fino sherry. There were just 175 cases made which sold out almost immediately!

Tio Pepe and the Perfect Tapas
We asked chef Santiago Guerrero to choose the perfect Tio Pepe and Tapas combination from his menu at Iberica Food & Culture. "I'd go for Sardinas con Gazapcho or the Caballa con Oreja de Cerdo which is mackerel seared in a pan served with glazed pigs' ears. There again, you can't go wrong with simple ham croquetas - they are wonderful with a chilled glass of fino."
