Elegante Fino Sherry is a reasonable priced ($$) sherry from the Jerez region of Spain. It is made from Palomino, resulting in a light, dry Fino. I am personally not a drinker of sherry as past experiences I have found it to be heavy, bordering on a fortified wine. I was very pleasantly surprised that this was light, not sweet and most importantly, was the perfect aperitif to serve with the entree dishes in the Simply Spanish menu – it just went so well with food. It is not something everyone will drinks heaps of but I do recommend you get one bottle and serve it in champagne flutes, half filled. Drink now, rather than cellaring.
