Jerez Sherry

‘The white from the white ground.’ What Jancis Robinson calls the ‘champagne of Spain,’ sherry (an Anglicization of ‘Xerez’) hails from the flamenco-ridden Southern region of Andalucía . Arguably Spain’s most important and distinctive wine, its long history is marked by Phoenician, Roman, Moorish and British influences, to name a few . Largely misunderstood and underappreciated as one of the most fascinating and mouth-watering libations by those outside Spain, sherry has recently enjoyed a renewal of international interest . Not sure what sherry is or how to enjoy it? You’re certainly not alone; but in Adalucia, its hard to imagine eating a single , a slice of jamón, or a gamba al ajillo without a sherry to match and elevate it . Other questions?
