Gary takes on two Sherry’s in his Sherry Episode!

Started by Ryan Opaz · 9 months ago

Maybe he’s just distracted by the big(?) announcement tomorrow, but the folks here at Catavino are a bit perplexed?

    I am perplexed by the burnt rubber/railroad tie element in the Pedro Romero Dry Oloroso Sherry. In your opinion is this a flaw in Sherry? If so, what causes it in Sherry?

    Good question, sometimes it could be a flaw, or a lack of air getting to the wine. My opinion is that often you get some slight petrol notes on the higher alcohol and darker sherries. In the past this has morphed into more caramel and burnt sugar aromas...The cause, high alcohol, and deep oxidization....

    Hmmmm. Interesting. Thanks for the feedback on that. I was under the impression that "burnt rubber" or "rubber tire" is a reductive falw. Will have to try the penny test if I find it in a Sherry.

    Auther it totally could be reduction! You never know, but I've found that at times that very deep rich caramel and burnt sugar smell burns off with time. Could be the reduction burning off! Cheers!

    okay, I need to learn LOTS more on sherry. I can't even really partipate in this dialogue. however, can I ask what the hell the announcement is from WLTV? I am intrigued (and a little scared. hopefully it's not too competition-crushing!).

    You nailed it Ryan; Gary clearly doesn't like Sherry or he would have checked Wikipedia for 5 minutes before recording this video. I'm sure he will do better next time...

    Jill we're here to help! Anything you need let us know!


    Tim Yeah, I really don't think he likes it that much. Also he still has the wines listed in his onsite notes as "spanish sherry" - Changing the wine world by educating people on the wines that interest you, and skimming the ones that don't



    as to the announcement...eh! exclusive CA cab, for people who can afford to buy some, and who live near SF or can travel there...eh!!
