| In my day girlies had a couple of sweet sherries and went home feeling a bit tiddly and dangerous. |
|
| However, we couldn't stay long as Mrs Mungo gulped down her ration of six dry sherries far too quickly. |
|
| In general, sherries produced by the solera system with flor are termed fino sherries while those without flor are termed oloroso sherries. |
|
| There are typically nine to 14 criaderas in a solera system although some manzanilla sherries can be made from as many as 19 tiers. |
|
| Needless to say, quite a few small sherries were quaffed and a grand time was had by all. |
|
| And in the far south, almost in view of North Africa, the tiny port of Sanlucar de Barrameda produces the finest of fino sherries. |
|
| Fino and manzanilla are the most fragile of the sherries, but if you keep them refrigerated, they should be fine for cooking for a couple of weeks. |
|
| I asked them to share what inspires them at the moment and, if applicable, what sherries they drink in the morning. |
|
| Sherries develop their unique characteristics during aging in what has become known as the solera system. |
|
| My husband was, as always, in charge of drinks and music and once the small sherries had been decanted he selected some light inoffensive background dross. |
|
| Even if you're a dab hand in the kitchen, it's worth writing a plan of action down in case you have a few too many sherries and lose your normal sense of control. |
|
| Conversely the blinding white calcareous albariza soils of Jerez produce high-quality sherries, possibly because of reflectance qualities in high temperatures. |
|
| Served throughout the meal are sherries, red wines, champagnes, and brandies. |
|
| Jerez de la Frontera in the province of Cadiz is one of Spain's most important wine regions and produces the country's well-known sherries. |
|
| Book for a one-off 3 course lunch plus cheese, all paired with Bodegas Baron sherries of Sanliucar de Barrameda. |
|
| So next time you bring out the salty almonds, anchovies and serrano ham, here are some super sherries to match them. |
|
| The rest were split between darker, richer dry Olorosos and very sweet sherries made from the Pedro Ximenez grape. |
|
| Sherries make a soothing and relaxing nightcap, especially the dark oloroso ones, so full of flavour they taste sweet, though many contain almost no sugar at all. |
|
| The great names such as Hidalgo, Lustau, Gonzales Byass, Domecq, Williams and Humbert, Barbadillo etc all sell their sherries at incredibly fair prices. |
|
| One of their leading brands is Tio Pepe, the finest of fino sherries. |
|
|
|
| One of the driest sherries around, this is also the top-seller. |
