Sherry is a fortified wine made from white grapes that are grown near the city of Jerez de la Frontera in Andalusia, Spain. Sherry is produced in a variety of styles made predominantly from the Palomino grape. With its unique oxidative character, they can range from light dry versions such as Manzanilla and Fino, to darker and heavier versions such as Amontillado and Oloroso. The sweet dessert wines are also made from the Pedro Ximenez or Moscatel grapes, and are sometimes blended with Palomino-based Sherries.
We’ve brought in a new line of Sherries by Bodegas Baron, and you will taste these if you come to our Wein, Schwein & Dine tasting on Sunday, August 26th. Sherries make a fine pairing with roasted pig!
