I'm still tasting my way through the Waitrose Solera Jerezana Sherry range. I think this has been my least favourite so far. I've decided I'm not really a Fino person. I've never really had one that I've been that thrilled about (yes even Tio Pepé (read full article)
Yes, another Sherry. I just can't help myself, and I'm not even finished!This wine, from Lustau once again, sports several awards on its label. IWC trophy, IWC gold, IWC best in class. Must be good then.It is good, but for some reason I didn't enj (read full article)
I think this is probably more what I was expecting from a Manzanilla than this. This is light, fresh tasting and 15% alcohol.It's always worth checking the label on supermarket own-label wines. This is produced by Lustau (a bit of a recurring theme (read full article)

I don't know if any one's noticed but I've been on a bit of a sherry bender recently. I've never taken really to Fino-style sherry - I mean it's OK but I don't get excited about it. I like Oloroso, but I've recently discovered Amontillado, which to (read full article)
At a recent Wine Society tasting I tried the 'Dulce' (literally 'sweet') version of this wine, which is a blend of PX and Oloroso sherries, not unlike a cream sherry. I asked what the difference between this 'Dulce' blend and a cream sherry was, an (read full article)
This very good dry Amontillado sherry is available from the Wine Society for the ridiculously favourable price of £6.50 a bottle until December 17th.Amontillado sherry is a style of sherry that started off under a flor of yeast, but then was exposed (read full article)
Palo Cortado Sherry is a style of sherry halfway between a Fino (or Amontillado) and an Oloroso. The wine is initially intended to be a flor-aged style such as Fino, but the flor dies away prematurely and the wine is exposed to the air, and takes on (read full article)
