Gary, you can get rid of that extra syllable by remembering that, in Spanish, “ll” is pronounced like a “y”. Now, try Amontillado again.

As mentioned in a few other comments the Alvear wine are NOT sherries! The are from Montilla-Moriles and made from the Pedro Ximenez grape.

well i adored this episode .my given name sherry. and yes i love sherry's i have use blendsof sherry with port for a bishops wine we add spices and fruit and heat is the aroma is radical. ok i like brandys and a shot of burbon wild turky i like the nutty high etoh.um the dry are fine for a cool crisp nite . the amontialldo is a great edgar allen poe storey the cask of amontialldo its about the main character and his rich egomainac frend who belittles him every chance. being old time setting they catacombs where they stored thesee casks were an common part of the old world infrastructure. well one night he found his rich snotty friend drunk and made an alluring storey about some killer wine he enticed the friend to the bowels fo the subterraneand world it was a celebration where everyone wore costumes masks so he continued to feed wine and than in the depths being a mason by trade he began to build a wall to inprison ths prick of a friend and he bricked him in alive. edar just love him.. ok the heaverir sherrys are yes sweet and served over scallops i have a killer recipe for harvys brisotol cream sherry with scallops and cheese melted over the top yummy. so thsi describes my personality in a way dont cha think. nutty a good value long process rummy high alcohlo content a great ocassion drink i love the amberesque autum leafs color of the heavier sherrys although the dry are great to blend with a rhine with sweet woodriff and ornage and strawberries we call this a may wine and serve thsi blend on beltaine and throughout the month of may sherry is underrated and has since this episode gone up price wise. an aquiared pallette but th integrity that goes into the createing of this unique animal. is its authenic historical and reagality that many peeps lack insight too i like it when your over the top mania vayniac maniacs me bing bipolar and all . so is my recent advasary. the rock god wine god bacchus from 8 mile and now thinks he is above most despite his circle of circle jerks . love gyfooma the dot com gal. peace

Maybe it's just me, but you either seemed bored (like you said), or unenthusiastic, or just not into sherries much at all. Which is a real shame, because there's so much to them and so many different styles, and they're quite different- from how they're made to how they taste from so many of the other wines out there. It took me a while to appreciate them, I think part of it for some people (like it was for me), is they are can be hard to understand or figure out since they are so different from other wines. I think Karen MacNeil (director of the wine dept. for the Culinary Institute of America in Napa), was very right when she said that sherry “is the world's most misunderstood and under appreciated wine”, in her book The Wine Bible.
Qotd: I know one that I'm aware of.

Great show! I’d love for you to taste a Commandaria and compare it to a sweet ambra Marsala and a Cream Sherry. Perhaps you could also taste a Mavrodaphne and compare it to a ruby Porto and a Marsala or Madeira. Commandaria and Mavrodaphne are high quality Greek dessert wines that are also used as sacramental wines in the Greek Orthodox Church. Commandaria may be the oldest wine in continuous production, dating perhaps to Homeric times.
