Where to buy fine sherries?
just to follow up on this question, I found that PJ Wines in Inwood is very enthusiastic about sherry and has an amazing selection, great prices, too. La Gitana just $8.47 for 500ml. http://www.pjwine.com/html/sherry2.html

do Papirusa, which I find likable and very even in quality. I like La Gitana for a basic big house but decent price, but when it’s old, I think, it’s not as nice. If the in house wine buyer happens to drag me into a...
