The color of sherry is, in great degree matter
of fashion or caprice. Brown. dark brown, gold, and
pale sherry have ruled in turn. ju0icious use OF
courin- material adds to the sOfthess and rich
ness of wine of lower qualify. But ii"
pale old sherry which is at times in great
request is deprived OF its FIVE natural iaycr by
the chemical process Of bleaching. lie coloriug

The large development Of alcohol is an essential
feature of sherry The intense Andalusiao sun pro-
duces at least twenty per cent of alcohol. and II has
been found by experience thatit Is necessary to add
six or eight per cent more for expectation. But the
addition Of alcohol is the only kind Of adal'cration
which sherry receives from respectable Jerez
houses.

The best sherry is made froa: a grape known as
the "pelomino." 1t is from this that the famous
Amontillado is obtained the choicest in quality and
the highest in price. The grape is grown only in a
cacaroous tract about miles long. with
age width Of three miles. OF course the supply Of
this highy przed sherry is not equal TO the demand.
Nor eau il be increased, a similar soil, with like
advantages Of climate. is unknown. III rehearsing
