Alcademics

In September 2010 I visited several sherry bodegas. Here are pictures and a few notes from Bodegas Sanchez Romate. 

(Our guide used a barrel as a chalkboard.)

(The bodega is relatively small and sort of goth.)

(We signed a barrel.)

• Not a touristy bodega- don’t do tours
• Fino has more oxidation than manzanilla because the flor dies in winter and summer in Jerez. 
• Delicious amontillado 5 years under flor
• Muscatel was like blueberry pie filling with curry
• Brandy Cardenal Mendoza top selling brandy de Jerez in US
