Back to basics: trying a white label "Marie Galante" Fino sherry for Colruyt supermarkets. It sells for € 3,79 which is a pretty criminal price, but the quality is not as bad as you'd think Colruyt (NL/FR) #fino #sherry sherrynotes.com/2023/reviews/f…

Ximénez Spínola Delicado is a very fruit-forward PX, full of juicy apricots and offering plenty of acidity. Almost a Sauternes style, this is an easy pleaser worth discovering! XIMÉNEZ-SPÍNOLA #pedroximenez sherrynotes.com/2023/reviews/p…

Apparently even highly regarded Belgian sommelier Joachim Boudens (Hertog Jan ***) was misled in his book by that same image of a "sherry bodega" that is actually a cellar from Churchill's Port Joachim Boudens #sherry sherrynotes.com/2021/backgroun…


Valdespino recently launched the 2023 edition of its Viña Macharnudo Alto. A top of the range non-fortified white wine which seems to be getting better each year valdespinosherry #jerez #wine sherrynotes.com/2024/vino-de-p…
