    sherry tasting

    with a meal and most bottles are inexpensive. all the sherry styles taste very different. the sweet pedro ximenez style will put you into a diabetic shock, but it has a tasteful mellowness that grows on you. i really liked a...

    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

    Jerez

    Yes, Manzanilla can seem even drier than Fino. (It isn’t, but it can SEEM that way.) My favorite is Hildalgo’s "La Gitana" Manzanilla. But a “softer” style is an aged Manzanilla like that from...

    Is there a more natural pairing than raw oysters and muscadet?

    I think Hidalgo La Gitana Manzanilla goes better with shellfish, especially oysters.

    I would think that a Manzanilla would go great. Maybe La Gitana?

    of course they had it, la gitana manzanilla. it’s dry and light and kind of hard to find in other tapas places. i also had a oloroso to finish. we sat at the bar and service is fine, except the bartender spilled a glass of...

    Morton's/Le Pichet

    Taqueria Traspasadas

    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...
