Quick: can you name the seven different styles of Sherry?  Or explain why they are so different?  Or figure out what to do with them (other than toss them into something simmering on the stove)?  Well after this class, you’ll be able to answer those questions and expound upon the fascinating making and growing of the unique fortified wines of the region around Spain’s Jerez.  And have discovered a new favorite wine or two as well!

What are the seven styles of Sherry (we know, we know – you could argue for 8, but we have to draw the line somewhere!).  Well, the list of wines covered should give you a clue:

M. Antonio de la Riva Manzanilla Fina Miraflores Baja
Bodegas Gomez Nevado Sierra Morena Palido (Fino-Style)
Emilio Lustau Almacenista del Puerto Gonzalez Obregon Amontillado
Emilio Hidalgo Gobernador Oloroso Seco
Bodegas Tradicion Palo Cortado Sherry VORS 30 Years
Lustau East India Solera (Cream-style)
Alvear Solera 1927 Pedro Ximenez

The wines will be even more fascinating with a dollop of Sherry history which includes global trading expansion, corporate mischief and a modern rebirth that could just lead to the best Sherries ever.  You’ll enjoy some Sherry-friendly snacks as we take our tour of Sherry styles and have plenty of chances to share your questions and opinions.
