Tasting at Diez Merito

The morning started with thick fog, and it looked like it had rained. Breakfast on chorros and chocolate , followed by a tasting a at a bodega called Diez Merito, that we haven't been to before. The lady doing the tour and tasting give us, at our request, a tasting of different quality sherries of amontillado and oloroso so we could compare their cheaper wines (6 euros a bottle) against the better ones ( at 15 euros a bottle). We found that the more expensive were better, but not by much, and certainly not by the difference in price. We bought the cheaper amontillado and then this evening tasted it in comparison to the one from Dios Bacco that we'd bought a few days ago.
