A blog and review on all things Sherry. It is about tasting, enjoyment and learning more about the World’s Finest Wine. "Sherry is a thoroughbred" as Javier Hidalgo rightly puts it. Included are the amazing local Brandies and the remarkably good table wines also produced in the province of Cádiz.

Spanish Tiles with Wine-Related Sayings
The Azulejos de Refranes, or tiles with rhyming sayings, are an old tradition in Spain. They are not only full of wisdom, but humour as well, and are a great way of learning Spanish. Just for fun, here are a few:
"From winter to winter, money goes to the Government"
"With old wine and ham, the heart won't suffer"
"The mosquito said to the frog, Better to die in wine than live in water!"
"Good bread, good wine and good meat: the sign of a good house."
