—if you like sweet things, that is—you’ll never be the same person again. I have preferred my sherry dry for many years. My usual choice is palo cortado, a much less well-known style that falls between an amontillado and an...

Amarone, especially one with some bottle age. Personally, I’d probably go for an Oloroso or Amontillado sherry. But red they ain’t.

or longer, it’d pay to check label, though anything stronger than a fino will probably be above 18.5%. FWIW, Lustau’s approx $10 Amontillado is pretty easy to find here (NYC) and is very adequate for cooking and...
