Other Varietals

A likeable sherry and the price is right too. Although the bottle says chill it a bit, I really enjoy more when it's closer to room temperature.

A sherry that falls somewhere in dryness between Alfonso Oloroso Seco (a very dry one) and the Solara 1847 Oloroso Dulce (rather sweet). With this wine leaning heavily toward the Alfonso, no matter what the label says.

Definitely not the sherry you might be expecting, as it's a very, very, dry one. That might put a few people off.

The Continental Airlines selection @34,000 feet in coach class. Drinkable, but an echo of a better example. Some better choices might be: Inwood Estates 2005, pricey at $32 a bottle, or Arzuaga Pago Florentino 2005, at about $16 a bottle.

It's an every day red kinda wine, (in Sarah Palin speak). Good perhaps as the 2nd bottle that night. A possible first wine, the Tres Picos Granache (2008). A trifle expensive, but it will set your taste buds up for this bottle.
