Seville: Sherry Wine Tasting Experience

We are serious wine drinkers and wanted to learn about sherry wine: We signed up for this tasting as an introduction before visiting a bodega in Lebrija. We were very satisfied and in fact surprised with the high level of this tasting we received from Antonio. To be honest, the additional services advertised after we had booked - like infused olive oils or ice cream - slashed our expectations. But this was the best and most thorough tasting we have ever attended. We learned so much! About the sherry triangle (Palomino triangle), about oxidizing sherry wine, about different types of sherry. We went into details like the climatic effects of the ocean on manzanilla vs. fino. Our host has interesting backgrounds, a geographer among others, and he is a very good lecturer. Do not expect just to come and drink and learn nothing. This is a rigorous 2-hour class; Antonio prefaces it with saying: “If you want to drink wine, you must first learn about what you drink.” The venue is not a restaurant — it is s small cozy room, well equipped for this kind of events. Wines are served at different temperatures (!), small bites are also provided, all very delicious. There is a restroom on site. Wines are also available for purchase at fair prices, and of course we bought some. Thank you, Antonio, for a memorable tasting! We will recommend to anybody visiting Sevilla.
