BLIND Sherry

Blind tasting is the art of analyzing a wine using only the senses.  It’s a practice that trains us to better pair wine with food, understand the nuances of terroir, and fully grasp varietal variation.  It’s commonplace to blind taste all sorts of wines, but when it comes to the bar, blind tasting is less common.  

Introducing BLIND, a new class series focused on blind tasting bottles for the bar.  In each class, we’ll compare different bar staples, using our senses to learn their subtleties.  We’ll come away with a better understanding of how to build a cocktail or create unique pairings at the table.  

In our third BLIND class, we’ll explore the world of sherry.  This is not your grandmother’s liquor cabinet.  Immensely diverse in both style and application, sherry is a workhorse behind the bar.  We’ll take a deep dive into various styles of sherry, from least oxidative to most.  We’ll then discuss how tradition and microclimate shapes the production of each, as well as how to use them in a cocktail.
