Frequently Asked Questions About Popular Sherry Wine
What is the best sherry wine to buy?
The best sherry depends entirely on your palate and the occasion. For aperitif drinking, a well-chilled fino or manzanilla is the classic choice. For after dinner, an aged oloroso or palo cortado offers extraordinary complexity. For dessert, Pedro Ximenez poured over vanilla ice cream is one of the simplest and most impressive combinations you can serve. Our complete guide to sherry covers every style in detail.
