A TASTE OF SHERRY – JEREZ
Musical lecture and sherry tasting
By: José María Castaño & Bodegas González Byass
In Jerez de la Frontera in southern Spain, flamenco and sherry are inextricably linked. The city is one of the greatest breeding grounds of flamenco and the home soil of all the main (gypsy) singing and guitar dynasties. In this lecture you will literally get a taste of Jerez – Xérez – Sherry. Enjoy an exquisite glass of sherry, listening to the best flamenco from Sherry City.
Flamenco expert and author José M. Castaño lets you hear, see and taste that in Jerez de la Frontera wine turns into song. And that every palo (flamenco style) has its own particular sherry. A dry fino to a cheerful bulería, a heavier and sweeter oloroso to the soleá, the mother of all songs. Sipping from a noble wine, you are submerged in the graceful songs of Jerez. A sensory experience sponsored by GONZÁLEZ BYASS, one of the oldest sherry houses.
