It is from soleras that have been owned by families for generations. Many sherry houses purchase wines from these soleras and bottle them with the name of the family on the bottle. Many of these are the highest quality sherries, and can also be some of the most expensive. Yet the maximum price is thirty dollars a bottle, which is certainly reasonable for these great wines. Emilio Lustau distributes some of the finest of the Almacenista sherries, releasing wines from family soleras which range from dry to sweet.
T here are many producers who make excellent sherries that are worth drinking.
The only sherries that I do not recommend are those from the United States. Tio Pepe is a great producer of Fino Sherry. For Almacenista Sherries, Emilio Lustau has the best quality sherries, and the highest availability of all the producers. So the next time you are thinking of grilling out, pick up a bottle of sherry and give it a try. After that, every time spring and summer come, sherry will be the first thing that enters your mind when you want a refreshing drink.
