varietal: Pedro Ximenez

Country of Origin: Spain

Appellation: Jerez-Xeres Sherry

Retail Price: $26.99

Tasting Notes: Many people think of sherry as something to be sipped out of a small glass while Aunt Alice is watching an evening soap. This is nothing like that. This powerful, complicated, elegant dessert wine is an outstanding way to finish a meal. Lots of dried fruit notes, with hints of vanilla, and touches of spice. Wonderful.
