This course will cover the Jerez (Sherry) “terroir”, varietals and fascinating winemaking methods. Jerez is a fortified wine with styles spanning from painfully dry to super sweet. This wine from the Southernmost tip of Spain was brought to World’s acclaim by British consumers from Imperial times but in the second part of the 20th century its popularity declined. However, in the last two decades the wineries have experienced a significant revitalization and have been producing wines of outstanding attributes that have received passionate reviews and ratings from the most renowned wine experts. Their aromas are just different and their bouquet very intense. It is worth giving them a try judging by ourselves, and that is what we will be doing in this course. The instructor will identify 2 wines available at the PA liquor stores. The students will enjoy them during class as well as many weeks after opening.
