Meet Sherry! 5 Facts About Sherry That Most People Don't Know!

Let’s dispel the misguided belief that sherry is a sweet, sticky wine better suited for generations far beyond our own. I hope these five quick facts will encourage you to go out and revel in the deliciousness of quality sherry!

  • Most fine sherries are bone dry!
  • Dry sherry styles are determined by the way the wine is aged: under flor (no oxygen) – fino and manzanilla (light, complex); in contact with oxygen – oloroso (dark, full bodied); hybrid – amontillado and palo cortado (intermediate).
  • True sherry can only come from on location, Andalucía in southern Spain.
  • Sherry is meant for food! Enjoy sherry with salty snacks, seafood, white and cured meats or cheeses.
  • Serve finos and manzanillas chilled.

And enjoy your sherry in a white wine glass!

I have to admit I've never ordered a sherry, Rachel Portell . Think I may have to try one now. Thanks for sharing! Look forward to more wine wisdom from you!
Rachel Portell
If you like dry wine go for the Fino/Manzanilla and if you like richer wines order an Oloroso. You won't be disappointed, cheers!

Great first tip, Rachel Portell, thank you! Can you drink sherry out of a #30Seconds wine glass?! 😀 Cheers!!!

Thank you! And yes, while a white wine glass is recommended, I'd say that 30 Second wine glass is best! I need a few :)
