TOKYO WINE SOCIETY TASTING

Sherry

January 22, 2016




"The single most under-priced wine is Sherry" says Jancis Robinson. She also wrote it's because people has not tried good quality versions. It's true fortified wine has been faked easily and for long time so the reputation of Sherry has suffered from such products.
We tasted Sherry this time on Sherry specialty store/bar to make sure the wine's condition is good, and from dry to sweet, even compared to the faked Sherry.
We also had ordinary great wines from Italy and California for dinner. Thanks to Okuyama san and Kevin san, we did enjoy a interesting white wine with all grapes-in, Bordeaux type red wine just from the next door to Opus One, Amarone and a Super Toscan. Please see the pictures below.
