Sherry - A Guide to the (Hardcover)

There is no other wine that is as versatile, as utterly unique in
its range and production methods--and, unfortunately, as
misunderstood--as sherry. For centuries, sherry was considered one
of the world's great wines, spoken about in the same reverential
terms as the finest Bordeaux and Burgundies. But in the last few
decades, sherry lost its way--and cheap, cloyingly sweet blends
sullied the reputation of what remains one of Spain's oldest and
greatest winemaking traditions.
Thankfully, sherry is in the midst of a renaissance. Beloved of
sommeliers and bartenders in the craft cocktail community, today
sherry is being re-discovered and re-appreciated as an incredible
table wine "and "essential component of many classic cocktails.
"Sherry "is essential reading for wine or spirits professionals
looking to incorporate this complex wine into their menu, and for
adventurous drink enthusiasts who are on the hunt for something
unexpected. With a comprehensive yet accessible overview of the
different styles of sherry, how they are made, and the people and
places that produce it, "Sherry "demystifies what can be a
confusing (and seemingly contradictory) wine. A thorough buyer's
guide lists top producers and profiles the very best bodegas and
wines.
Finally, a whole chapter on sherry-based cocktails illuminates a
completely different side of sherry, featuring classic recipes like
the Tuxedo and Sherry Cobbler, as well as modern creations from the
country's top bartenders (Jim Meehan's East India Negroni, Derek
Brown's Kojo Cocktail). More than a dozen recipes for tapas and
other delicious foods--best eaten alongside a glass of sherry, of
course--round out this wonderfully eclectic, engaging, and
inspiring collection.
