London's first sherry bar opens 19 March, giving Londoners a taste of fine sherry in a setting reminiscent of the rustic bodega bars of Spain. Bar Pepito is the latest addition to the bar & restaurant scene in King's Cross. An off-shoot of Camino, it is located across from its established sibling in Varnisher's Yard. The man behind the new venture is Camino's Richard Bigg, who is on a mission to get more people to enjoy sherry. Bar Pepito was inspired by Bigg's visits to the Jerez region & developed with support from the sherry house González Byass, the makers of Tio Pepe fino. On the wine list are 15 sherries covering the main styles from dry Finos & Manzanillas through to sweet Pedro Ximénez, as well as lesser-known styles such as Palo Cortado and Moscatel. Prices range from £3.50 to £7.75 per glass. All the wines are available by both the glass & the bottle.
