How are we celebrating? With <strong>10% off Sherry wines until 10 November<\/strong>, and with the perfect excuse to talk about some truly unique wines.<\/p>\n<p>Some wines you like, and some wines move you. If you&#8217;ve ever been to Jerez, Sanl\u00facar or El Puerto, or anywhere in Andalusia, you&#8217;ve surely tasted them. And, above all, felt them: an ice-cold manzanilla by the Guadalquivir, a fino with shrimp fritters, an oloroso at the end of a long lunch\u2026<\/p>\n<h2>Why are they so special?<\/h2>\n<p>More than 3,000 years of history, white albariza soil and the Atlantic breeze. Plus two cellar secrets: the <strong>flor<\/strong>, which protects finos and manzanillas, and the <strong>solera system<\/strong>, where young and old wines are raised together for years.<\/p>\n<h2>Sherry at the table: what to eat with each style<\/h2>\n<p>Few wines are as food-friendly as Sherry. Here&#8217;s our cheat sheet:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fino: dry, fresh and pungent.<\/strong> The king of endless aperitifs: good jam\u00f3n, mojama (cured tuna) with almonds, olives, fried fish, anchovies\u2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>Manzanilla: dry and saline.<\/strong> Sea urchins, cured fish, oysters, sashimi, prawns\u2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>Amontillado, Palo Cortado and Oloroso: dry, complex, elegant and deep.<\/strong> Mushrooms, artichokes, stews and roasts, cheese\u2026 A tip? Try <strong>amontillado with ginger ale<\/strong> (or with tonic: the <em>amontillado tonic<\/em>). You&#8217;ll be surprised!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cream: the bridge between dry and sweet.<\/strong> Foie gras, blue cheese, apple pie.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Moscatel: sweet, floral and aromatic.<\/strong> Fruit desserts, cheesecake, turr\u00f3n\u2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pedro Xim\u00e9nez: the king of desserts.<\/strong> Dark chocolate, or vanilla ice cream with a splash of PX on top.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Wines that are history, literature and film<\/h2>\n<p>Few wines have left such a mark on culture:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Shakespeare<\/strong> gave Falstaff, in <em>Henry IV<\/em>, the most famous praise of <em>sherris-sack<\/em>: if he had a thousand sons, the first thing he would teach them would be to drink it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lord Byron<\/strong> travelled through C\u00e1diz and Jerez in 1809, and Sherry appears in the verses of his <em>Don Juan<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>In <strong>Mary Poppins<\/strong>, Mr Banks comes home from the bank singing about the things he likes to have ready: <em>\u201cmy slippers, my sherry and my pipe\u201d<\/em>.<\/li>\n<li>In <strong>Downton Abbey<\/strong>, a glass of sherry before dinner is a Crawley family ritual.<\/li>\n<li>And <strong>James Bond<\/strong>, in <em>Diamonds Are Forever<\/em>, leaves everyone speechless when he names the year of the solera of the sherry he&#8217;s served: 1851.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Come and celebrate with us<\/h2>\n<p>Until <strong>10 November<\/strong>, all our Sherry wines are <strong>10% off<\/strong> in the shop at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.viconvino.com\/en\/wine-shop\/\">Carrer de la Diputaci\u00f3 163<\/a> (Eixample, Barcelona).
