More Sherry, Vicar ? – Saturday April 26th – 19:00
Sherry has come such a long way since the days of Granny’s lukewarm schooners of Bristol Cream, but the fortified wines of Jerez are still stigmatised by that association and as a result curious drinkers miss out on some of the most remarkable liquids you can find.
They’re astonishing value too, particularly when you think that many of them contain elements that are 30, 40 or even 60+ years of age. So get ready for saline Manzanilla, iodine-tinged Fino, nutty Olorosso and impossibly viscous Pedro Ximenez.
There will also be some surprise samples from regions outside Spain that produce similarly thrilling wines in the ‘Sherry style’.
