Wednesday 26 November 2014

"Jimmy is a Sherry nut... and uses the platform to try out some exciting new pairings. Jimmy pushed the experimental envelope with his matches pairing the Manzanilla with sardines and apple – It worked suprisingly well!" (Wine & The City Blog, Lucy Shaw March 2011)

Andalucia in South Spain houses both the home of Sherry, Jerez de la Frontera and the home of tapas, Sevilla. The complexity and diversity of both make them fantastic candidates for some of the most interesting, informative and fun wine and food matching. Our Sherry & Tapas Tastings include practical demonstrations of how different food elements combine with differing styles of wine. A selection of 7 delicious sherries are tasted with different types of tapas, including some excellent pairings for Christmas 2011!

At a Sherry & Tapas Tasting you'll be matching:

Aperitif Moscatel with mixed fruit saladDry fino with olives, walnuts & almondsDry Manzanilla with sardines & apple (Heston B recipe)Dry amontillado with pecorino/manchego cheese drizzled in honeyPalo Cortado 30 year old with serrano ham, gingerbread & pâtéSweet Oloroso 30 year old with fruit cake & stiltonand the uber-sweet Pedro Ximenez 30 year old drizzled over vanilla ice cream & dark chocolate

Three of the Sherries are 30-year-old fine & rare styles that are simply stunning.

If you still believe sherry is yesterday's tipple from generations passed and that it should only be seen at Christmas then this tasting will change your mind. This is the tasting that consistently surprises people and they often go forth with a new love for Sherry!
