Sherry

About this episode

Joe discusses the various styles of Sherry and its characteristics, emphasizing its value and appeal.

Again Joe talks us brilliantly through the different styles of Sherry. Similarly to other fortified wines, particularly Madeira, the grades of sherry depend greatly on dryness and sweetness. From Manzanilla through to Noe. Solera system explained. Anyone who still thinks Palo Cortado means pale and short need to listen in and it certainly isn't just for the older generations. Is this, as Joe offers up, the finest wine in the world? Certainly terrific value in supermarkets and, as ever, a world that should be explored with a glass in hand and the latest #Oreglo album playing. Salud! Hosted on Acast.
