Kurzbeschreibung:

A thoroughly modern take on the history, lore, and many uses of sherry--a delightful but misunderstood wine, beloved of sommeliers and, increasingly, bartenders around the country.
Too long a lonely outcast from the wine world, sherry has finally shed its stuffy, matronly image and today is making a comeback. With its fascinating history, totally unique production methods, and myriad uses--in cocktails, as a near-perfect pairing for food, and a delightful sipping beverage--sherry is finally getting the attention it deserves in bars and restaurants around the country. Smartly packaged in the visually rich style of Bitters, Sherry will be the first non-academic book on the subject in the modern era. Filled with colorful stories, up-to-date producer profiles, and recipes for both cocktails and food to be eaten alongside, Sherry is essential reading for aspiring sommeliers, mixologists, and lay enthusiasts.
