Sherry is a fortified wine, which means that it has been fortified with spirits – specifically, brandy. The best examples of Sherry can be delicious, complex, exciting and refreshing. Most of us have never tasted what a great Sherry can be like; in many restaurants and bars it is often left open too long or unrefrigerated on a shelf. Fresh Sherry, from a newly-opened bottle, served chilled with food, might just be the new food-and-wine pairing experience you are looking for!
