In this uncertain scenario, would you put all your eggs in the same basket, or would you rather diversify your assets? Diversification reduces volatility, correct? On the other hand, how would you stay financially healthy when everything around you is becoming more expensive by the hour?\u00a0<strong>Diversification\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>value<\/strong>\u00a0are the names of the game. Sherry wines vastly exceed these two factors offering plenty of quality options at a relatively inexpensive price.<\/p>\n<p>Back to the subject, sherries (and any great wine for that matter) ideally enjoyed in good company and with\u00a0<strong>fine food<\/strong>. Some may lean toward the thought that sherry must be paired with food to show its best. Personally, I am not keen on the idea of a wine for dining versus one suited just for sipping, but I strongly support that sherry\u2019s multiple layers of flavor come alive when paired with food. Similarly, sherries oftentimes magnify the flavor of food \u2013 an example of this could be noticed when marrying a subtle fish gently cooked (steamed) with a fino, the wine will perform like adding salt to the dish. Thus, we could say you win both ways.<\/p>\n<p>Although pretty much nothing in food and wine pairing should be set in stone, here is one suggested [<em>safe<\/em>] approach to these wines:\u00a0<strong>finos and manzanillas<\/strong>\u00a0are well-regarded as phenomenal aperitifs. They can be treated much like\u00a0<strong>white wines<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 savory and lively, they will prepare the palate for more robust wines and richer dishes to follow (hold on a sec, I remember hugely savoring a medium-rare\u00a0<em>churrasco<\/em>\u00a0skirt-steak with<em>\u00a0chimichurri<\/em>\u00a0sauce with manzanilla pasada\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GaOE--iaomc\">here<\/a>) \u2026<em>Oh, please continue\u2026<\/em>\u00a0<strong>amontillados<\/strong>, as pure intermediate styles and a broad category, should cover much in-between ground. The concentrated\u00a0<strong>palo cortados<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>olorosos<\/strong>\u00a0can replace any full-bodied\u00a0<strong>red wine<\/strong>, so they may be best consumed later. Consider, though, that it all depends on the wines involved \u2013 some longer-aged or less filtered wines from supposedly lighter styles might more appropriately be served after a technically fuller wine that has been otherwise heavily filtered. Sweeter-content wines should be left to last. But that is just the point with sherry \u2013 we never cease to come across extraordinary, unexpected marriages. Founded on these basic principles (not the only possible principles), begin to<strong>\u00a0mix, and match<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 30px;\">TYPE OF SHERRY WINES<\/h3>\n<p>Here are the \u2018generic\u2019 tasting notes for each of the most prominent types of sherry wines taken off the web of the Consejo Regulador (sherry.wine).

It is also infinite. There are countless constituents in both wines and foods that may influence the taste of the food, as well as the impact of the food on the wine. Is any wine good with any dish? Probably not. Are some wines more food-friendly than others? Yes. What does a wine (or a region) need to possess to make it work most of the time?\u00a0<strong>Versatility<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>food affinity<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>quality\u00a0<\/strong>(and\u00a0<em>purity*<\/em>), among others.<\/p>\n<p>As stated before, we always refer to the\u00a0<strong>diversity<\/strong>\u00a0of wines coming out of Jerez as the primary answer to endless food and wine pairing challenges. Of course, there is more than that \u2013 as we will try to break down below \u2013 but who doesn\u2019t agree that having many profiles to choose from is a big plus if you plan to drink from one single region through an assortment of ingredients and courses?<\/p>\n<p>Numerous authorized industry voices say that the average\u00a0<strong>quality<\/strong>\u00a0of sherry wines is higher than ever, and we share that statement (you certainly need quality to produce intensity and finesse).

Many of the tasting descriptors that are related to these wines are broadly considered contributors to<strong>\u00a0versatility\u00a0<\/strong>and<strong>\u00a0food affinity<\/strong>. Often, we find dryness, yeastiness\/creaminess, zestiness, umami, briny, lean palate, lack of fruitiness, freshness, lack of tannin, or light bitterness in biological wines. Then, add the savory oxidative hints and the smoky earthiness in darker dry sherries \u2013 all combined with a graceful balance between intensity and finesse. In the sweet styles the different sweetness levels, the complexity of aromas and taste, the balancing acidity, some bitterness, and the oxidative nuances, all help assemble the consonance. It seems sherry wines collect so many food-friendly components that, when chosen wisely, they will harmonize (or contrast) with any grades of fatness (texture), density, concentration, or intensity in the food.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\" style=\"max-width:1043px\" id=\"row-815781964\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1045184334\" class=\"col medium-8 small-12 large-8\"  >\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 30px;\">WHY SHERRY WINES ARE THE PERFECT WINE FOR PAIRING<\/h3>\n<p>As a side note, on December 12<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0I had the tremendous privilege to judge at the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.starchefs.com\/contest\/2022\/copa-jerez\"><strong>2022 US Copa Jerez<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0contest taking place at the Institute of Culinary Education in NYC. The experience was delightful, as we got to appreciate the sublime food and wine combinations by three of the most acclaimed American restaurants from Denver, CO, Richmond, VA, and Chicago, IL. I was very pleased with many of the pairings that the three skillful teams served us, showing pronounced synergy and promoting dozens of interactions of great magnitude and refinement. It also reminded me of the importance of correctly assessing flavor intensity in wine and food. A few of the matches lacked harmony because the wines overpowered the dish (the exact opposite could also occur with the lightest styles of wines). Sherry wines can be some of the most intense wines in the world, a quality that is usually increased over time as they are aged in barrel. Older sherries can be so intense that the difference between sipping\u00a0<em>a drop<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>an ounce<\/em>\u00a0can be massive. In this instance, either suggesting an approximately appropriate amount of wine and food being put in one\u2019s mouth or increasing the vigor of the dish may be advisable.<\/p>\n<p>Focusing again on these holidays, below are some off-the-top-of-our-heads food and sherry pairings we love (we have many more, just ask!):<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lustau.es\/en\/coleccion\/sherry-wines,solera-familiar-en\/manzanilla-papirusa\/\">Manzanilla<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you like freshly shucked\u00a0<strong>oysters<\/strong>\u00a0this should be a no-brainer starter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lustau.es\/en\/coleccion\/rare-and-vintage,sherry-wines\/fino-de-jerez-3-en-rama\/\">Fino<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Have you tried it with true\u00a0<strong>Jam\u00f3n Ib\u00e9rico de Bellota<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lustau.es\/en\/coleccion\/almacenistas-en,sherry-wines\/amontillado-de-sanlucar\/\">Amontillado<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Roasted\u00a0<strong>artichokes<\/strong>\u00a0anyone?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lustau.es\/en\/coleccion\/sherry-wines,solera-familiar-en\/palo-cortado-peninsula\/\">Palo Cortado<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuna tartar<\/strong>, yes!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lustau.es\/en\/coleccion\/sherry-wines,vors-en\/oloroso-vors\/\">Oloroso<\/a><\/p>\n<p>How about\u00a0<strong>pork ramen\u00a0<\/strong>(with extra chashu)?
