17.10.13 V Copa Jerez Has a Winner!


The V Copa Jerez has been won by the Danish Restaurant Clou. After 6 hours of tasting and munching, the judges decided that their Chef and sommelier showed exceptional mastery of the art of matching food and Sherry.
 

Two savoury dishes and a dessert with matching Sherries were served by the seven participating countries, and the winning menu was:

Scallops with salted rye bread crusts served with Fino Valdivia, stewed octopus in duck fat and roasted in almond oil with Amontillado Barbadillo, and for dessert, milk ice cream with coffee and hazelnut praline accompanied by PX VOS Tradicion.

The judges were Josep Roca (Restaurante Can Roca),  Doug Frost (one of only 3 people to achieve Master Sommelier and Master of Wine), Critic and journalist Jose Carlos Capel, Angel Leon (Restaurante Aponiente), Master Sommelier Ronan Sayburn and Juli Soler (El Bulli).
