But, enough of that. If the name of the drink we know as Sherry has such an interesting history, surely the drink itself must also have an interesting history? Those who set up International Sherry Week clearly think so, and in honour of this interesting tipple, the folks at Fitzroy’s Añada are, in conjunction with Spanish wine buffs The Spanish Acquisition, putting on The Sherry Sessions. It’s 4 nights of Spain’s most interesting and unusual sherries matched to a 4 course set menu inspired by the Añada team’s recent trip to the tapas bars of Jerez and Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
We’re big fans of Jesse Gerner’s cooking, with his genuine passion for Spain and its food coming through in the food that he and his team prepare both at Añada and Bomba. It’s properly authentic stuff and we’re sure that the Jerez inspired menu and the matched Sherries will be pretty great. See you there.
