26.1.13 Sherry Shines at Madrid Fusion

For another year, the wines and brandies of Jerez were protagonists at Madrid Fusion, the gastronomic fair held there last week. The Consejo Regulador had a stand which was a meeting point for numerous professionals and experts who took part in the food offerings developed to demonstrate the versatility of the products of Jerez and the infinite wine/food matching possibilities. Some sessions were partly education, partly tasting, such as cocktails made using Jerez Brandy. There were also workshops marrying various types of Sherry with gourmet products like Torta del Casar and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses as well as Los Pedroches ham. Michelin starred Chef Angel Leon, of the innovative A Poniente restaurant in El Puerto de Santa Maria, initiated a conference on pescados humildes.
