If a sweet baked ham, I’d go with a gewerz or a Provencale rose, or a brut rose champagne. If a smoked or cured (not sweet) country style, I’d consider going “different” and serving a nice oloroso sherry,...

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

. Harvest Vine is a fairly active restaurant, with an upstairs and downstairs room. This is not a modest tapas bar. You order from a menu, and the wine list is extensive. It includes a bunch of sherries by the glass, from finos...

(animals, not soldiers.) I’d have rather eaten at Oloroso, but we couldn’t get it. Still, gives us an excuse to go back. Thanks for the recommendations, 'Hounds. -mighty

I ususlly serve it with sliced pears and apples and a nice dessert wine. Sauternes, late-harvest Riesling or Gewurztraminer, Vin Santo, Amontillado or Oloroso Sherry, Madeira, and of course a nice vintage Port.

oloroso might be difficult to pair with a meal. But otherwise these wines can be fanstastic changes of pace to have with meals. And you are blessed with enough to experiment with in this regard. Sipping a glass of port while...

I like to cut them in half and remove the pit, then coat the cut surfaces with turbinado sugar and roast at 350 degrees F. for about 25 minutes, or until tender. Serve two halves in a bowl with home made vanilla ice cream and a...

Just returned from Santa Fe and enjoyed the restaurant scene. La Boca was a great, casual place to go for dinner. The young staff was very accommodating and friendly. Don’t miss the Black mussels steamed in oloroso mustard...

as a creamy Valdeon, with a generous slab of membrillo and toasted raisin and walnut bread. Not bad with an oloroso. A cherry trio, intense but balanced sorbet, a wobbly jelly and a nice pulpy confit with an excellent sable that...

Yeah, the Bruichladdich & Springbank are the front runners, but the Glenmorangie sounded interesting. There’s actually a gift set of 3 I’m eyeing that starts with 10 yrs in Bourbon casks and then finishes in...

1. No, don’t substitute cream sherry for Amontillado. They are quite different. A good Amontillado shouldn’t cost you more than $15. 2. Oloroso sherry.

't a big fan; maybe the sea salt drew out the liquid, but I thought they were too soggy. I’d also steer clear of the Paprika-Potato Gratin (oloroso carmelized onions, piquillo, manchego) — it’s tasy, but nothing...

meal I had eaten in a long time. The last pairing was esp. good – an olive oil cake with bitter chocolate and olive oil ice cream with poached figs served with an oloroso sherry. You can go on line and look at the different...

and fortified wines. Magic words like “fino”, "oloroso", “malaga”, and most especially “palo cortado” will cause glasses filled with wonderful liquids to appear in front of you.
