  Lustau East India Solera Reserva Sherry NV

  Snoothrank: Starting at $24^.94

  Delicious. Purchased based on Parker's 94 rating. I'll admit, it took me till the second glass to fully appreciate this wine. Quite dark to look at makes it interesting to swirl in the glass under some light. Very spicy, both on the nose and tongue. Nutty and hints of caramel. I'll... Read moreDelicious.

Very spicy, both on the nose and tongue. Nutty and hints of caramel. I'll give it a 92 and will be adding more to my collection.    (hide)

Dry amotillados and olorosos, and of course the sweeter versions, definitely survive time in bottle better. But I do love the briskness of finos and manzanillas, and how they stimulate apetite. Am almost salivating just thinking about them... ;-) Salud    (hide)

Read moreThere are whites all over but some of the more interesting ones have been ... de Origen” areas: Jerez, which the English transmogrified to "Sherry". Malaga - known for sweet desert wines and now they are even making some table wines. If you want something different, that might be something to look at. Montilla Moriles - also produce what we lump together under the category called "Sherry".. Condado de Huelva - an area hardly anyone knows about that makes both sweet and dry wines, mostly whites. Palomino, the grape that is used in sherry, traditionally isn't all that satisfying as a still-wine grape, but if you get a chance, try a couple. You probably won't get to try them back home. If you want them for yourself, I'd say buy whatever you've tried and loved. If you are buying for someone else, I've found that unless someone has already expressed an appreciation of it, a dry sherry isn't always a successful gift. But sweet wines seem to be universally appreciated and even better, they often tend to last fairly well too. In addition to those mentioned, you might want to look for some madeira. When I'm overseas, I tend to look for things that I can't get back home. So personally, I'd go for the more out of the way stuff    (hide)

If this is before dinner, how about a ... or Sandeman Don Fino Jerez. Nutty again, but with herbs and citrus. If dinner's going to be tapas, could continue into the meal with these.... If with larger meats or cheese that'll be dinner I'm in the mood for a syrah from the Rhone (Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle is always reliable) or, if from California either a Neyers syrah, or a pinot noir from Rochioli (Russian River Valley) or Au Bon Climat (Santa Barbara), just to see how these winemakers are doing these days. Inconsistent, I know, but moods are. If after dinner? More finickyness as I'm thinking a nice, sweet demi-sec bottle of sparkling wine, to keep things light. A Schramsberg Cremant Demi-Sec sounds good, keeping to a California context. What are you reading    (hide)

I learned it from watching to wine library, there is ... Robinson, she tastes a Jerez and talks about it. It will actually stand up very well to air because you can drink it even after several days, but it won´t be the same wine, pretty much like portos I guess.
