Thank you Jose for your explanation about the different sherries. I always loved Fino and also Amontillado. In my childhood back in the 50's in Asturias, Spain my mother used to make me drink a little glass of vino Sanson ( maybe similar to Pedro Ximenez) every day. Back then parents though that if you were skinny you were not healthy and the vino dulce was going to help hahaha. Now I live in NY state and I make sure not to give my grandchildren vino Sanson or they put me in jail.
I love sherry for it's uniqueness and value for money. Back when I was a sommelier, and before budget airlines existed, I travelled to Jerez for lunch at a Bodega to raise money for a wine charity. It felt wildly extravagant back then - going to southern Spain on a day trip purely for lunch and a bodega tour. But so worth it!
Always interesting and very informative! Thank you!

Gracias por tus mensajes!! Que buenas ideas nos das, me habia olvidado de lo bueno que es el Sherry, con tapas o con un rico postre.
