I favro the Amontillados and richer sherries, but like them all. In hot weather, sherry over ice is really good. I was in Jerez recently and had the chance to taste some rare, older sherries. Oh man, that was a good experience. Those dishes look delicious, Dan. Sherry is so vastly underrated and under consumed I’m often amazed any is still made.

It is hard to run into these things in the local market, but those of us who grew up in a Spanish jerez-drinking family have our ways to get our hand on some of these delicious wines. In a completely different range, I believe that a very decent and inexpensive local substitute for a manzanilla is the Bodegas López Jerez FL. Have you ever tried it? It goes very well sith some "boquerones", sardines and goat cheese. The food, BTW, looks delicious too...
