The S. Roberto Palo Cortado from Bodegas Barbadillo received 100 Parker points last year. We confirm it's totally magnificent #sherry #wine sherrynotes.com/2026/reviews…

A super tasty version of Matalían, from Bodegas M.Ant. De La Riva - sapidity in a glass #jerez sherrynotes.com/2026/vino-de…

A very gastronomic Amontillado Pisador, sourced from the Cooperative Virgen Palomares in Trebujena and bottled by The Wine Bang #sherry @ClubContubernio sherrynotes.com/2025/reviews…

Where does the freshness and acidity of an old Oloroso sherry come from, if it starts from low-acidity Palomino grapes? sherrynotes.com/2026/backgro… #sherry #wine

Amontillado-Fino in the 'Soleras Especiales' series from Bodegas Hidalgo in Jerez: first step in the ageing evolution #sherry

Medium Amoroso from Vinos Según Cede, the small bodega of the Guerra family (of Taberna Der Guerrita fame). Part of a Club Contubernio pack and a seriously tasty Medium sherry @ClubContubernio #sherry sherrynotes.com/2024/reviews…

Valdespino recently launched the 2023 edition of its Viña Macharnudo Alto. A top of the range non-fortified white wine which seems to be getting better each year @valdespinojerez #jerez #wine sherrynotes.com/2024/vino-de…

Review: premium Palo Cortado of around 20 years, from León Domecq. Seemingly a new name but previously known as the almacenista Bodegas Vides #sherry sherrynotes.com/2024/reviews…

Manzanilla Charito: a high quality wine from Bodegas Emilio Hidalgo, probably a bit older than most others on the market, but lacking a bit of marketing #sherry sherrynotes.com/2025/reviews…

Essentially a classic, caramelly Amontillado in a modern bottle. One of the XECO wines, sourced from Bodegas Diéz-Mérito in Jerez @XECOWines #amontillado #sherry sherrynotes.com/2023/reviews…

Review: a single cask Fino de Jerez from Bodegas Lustau: one barrel from the second criadera of the Fino Jarana @BodegasLustau #fino #sherry sherrynotes.com/2023/reviews…

Navazos Niepoort Vino Blanco initiated the recent wave of 'Vinos de Pasto'. White wine from Palomino grapes grown on albariza, unfortified and aged for a few months under a layer of flor @EquipoNavazos @dirkniepoort #wine sherrynotes.com/2023/vino-de…

Review: Moscatel 'Heredad de Hidalgo' is a supermarket sherry that offers limited complexity and little refinement. Cheap but sometimes it's better to pay a little more @BodegasLaGitana #moscatel #sherry sherrynotes.com/2023/reviews…

Pleased to announce that I'm featured in the latest episode of the Van Dyck & Van Dyck Podcast (in Dutch). Thanks for this wonderful experience guys! @Meug_be #podcast open.spotify.com/episode/6wX…

El Armijo 2021, from a series of Vinos de Pasto by M. Ant. De La Riva. Heterogenous albariza soils around Sanlúcar, owned by the Florido family @bodegasdelariva #wine sherrynotes.com/2023/vino-de…

A 1967 bottle of the benchmark Fino La Ina from Bodegas Pedro Domecq. Everything I hoped for and then some #pedrodomecq #sherry sherrynotes.com/2023/reviews…

sherrynotes.com/2023/reviews… It's a shame that the Amontillado Tio Guillermo, like other Garvey sherries, seems to have disappeared from the market... @EmperadorDeluxe #amontillado #sherry

sherrynotes.com/2023/vino-de… Tia Ito 2019 is a white Palomino wine made by the young enologist Carmen De La Pascua and bottled by Club Contubernio. An excellent Vino de Pasto @ClubContubernio #vinodepasto #wine

sherrynotes.com/2023/reviews… I've always had a thing for Sangre y Trabajadero, one of the affordable gems from Bodegas Gutiérrez Colosía. A great Oloroso tracing back to the lost Bodegas Cuvillo @BodegaGColosia #oloroso #sherry

sherrynotes.com/2023/reviews… The standard Oloroso Seco from Bodegas Gutierrez-Colosía is not the most complex Oloroso, but it offers good value for money. Full review now online @BodegaGColosia #oloroso #sherry
