The V Sherryfest
in the USA has closed after enormous success. San Francisco hosted the festival
between the 17th and 20th of this month, and was awash
with seminars, tastings and food matching with Sherry at the heart, showing
just how versatile it is.
Sherryfest
began in 2012 in New York, the brainchild of wine writer Peter Liem, who said
that the San Francisco event was an unprecedented success, the most successful
so far and has awoken a real thirst for Sherry.

The Grand
Tasting hosted over 500 professionals who had the opportunity to taste 140
brands by the hand of their representatives or even oenologists. Such was the
public uptake that pre-booking had to close long before the event. In the words
of Beltran Domecq, president of the Consejo, who gave one of the seminars, “Sherryfest
is a magnificent example of the interest that these great wines are inspiring
in professionals from all over the world. It is very satisfying to have such a
professional – and young – audience which feels true admiration for the quality
we produce and for Sherry’s great worldwide gastronomic potential.”
