Yesterday we went on a visit and sherry tasting to a bodega we have not visited before, the reason being it is very expensive. However , the bodega specialises in sherries with the classification of VORS (Very Old Rare Sherry) which we have not had much chance to taste. So we went along and had the usual tour explaining how sherry is made but with some extra info on how the sherry regulators control the classifications. The VORS sherry has to spend at least 30 years in barrel - as part of the solera - before being bottled. The tasting of 6 different types of sherry was good and interesting but confirmed our suspicion that we could not detect a sufficient increase in quality to justify the massive increase in prices - the sherry is sold for between 30 to 100 euros per bottle!

The bodega also has it's own art gallery of paintings by Spanish old masters such as Goya, Velasquez, Zubaran which were very nice but not the best of their work.Baca lagi
