Observations

This is an old-timer, and if for no other reason merits a place in the book. Sherry wine is often (and properly) drunk alone as an appetizer be fore dinner. Sherry, the dryest of all sweet wines, has a peculiar ability to sharpen the appetite. With Dubonett, a French sweet wine, it creates a mixture of rare mellowness, almost like over ripe fruit. The best Sherry is produced at Jerez de la Frontera, Spain.
