Choosing Sherry after dinner does not mean automatically reaching for the sweetest bottle. The Sherry region produces dry, medium-sweet and naturally sweet styles that can accompany almonds and mature cheese as successfully as turrón, chocolate or ice cream. Begin with the food and the kind of conversation you want to extend. Dry Amontillado encourages close attention; Oloroso supports deeper flavours; Cream brings roundness; Pedro Ximénez makes a small glass part of dessert itself. Made in Spain Gourmet currently lists seven products in its sweet and fortified wine category, including several Lustau references. Check bottle size and whether a product is sold individually or by the case, because some listings are packs of six. A thoughtful bottle is more useful than an unnecessarily broad selection.
