Wine's Best Kept Secret: Authentic Sherry w/Linda Lawry / Culinary Historians of New York
International Wine Center
New York, NY
Myths surrounding Sherry abound. A few: It's all sweet and sticky. It's made in California, Australia, almost anywhere. It's best used for cooking. It's the drink for little old ladies!
All untrue! Authentic sherry has been made exclusively in the Jerez region of Andalucia, Spain, for over 2000 years and is unique. Its styles and flavors are more varied than those of any other wine in the world. As tapas restaurants are now winning fans in the United States, so fine quality sherry is also gaining respect.
We will discuss the history, see where the grapes are grown and how it is made, cover the many styles, and taste a wide range of sherries, including a very rare vintage sherry, 1978 Gonzalez Byass Palo Cortado. Only 600 bottles produced!
Speaker Linda Lawry, DWS, Director of the International Wine Center, is an Official Sherry Educator, certified by the Consejo Regulador in Jerez.
