Sherry tasting at Back Room Wines

Back Room Wines pours Sherry on Friday, May 17, from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. More than 3,000 years of history shaped winemaking in Jerez in Southern Spain. Even while under Moorish rule in 711, wine was still produced in the area. It was Britain’s fondness for “Sherish” wines that helped launch its production and popularity. Now Jerez produces a variety of styles like Amontillado, Palo Cortado, Fino and PX. Explore what the Sherry universe has to offer. The cost is $30.
