Bodegas Williams & Humbert may not be a household name in this country, but if you want to discover what great sherry should be, Williams & Humbert Dry Sack 15 Year Solera Especial and “Don Zoilo” Pedro Ximenez would be a hell of a good place to start.
Dry Sack 15 Year Solera Especial is a medium sweet sherry made using the Solera method–a time-honored method of blending tiers of sherry barrels of different ages–in this case with an average age of 15 years. Time works its magic to produce aromas and flavors of raisins, figs, nuts, and vanilla. Makes a great aperitif. 17.00
If Dry Sack makes a great aperitif, “Don Zoilo” Pedro Ximenez 12 year-old sherry is the ideal dessert wine. Rich and sweet, Don Zoilo lingers on the palate with lingering and complex flavors of raisins and figs. 29.00
