We fell in love in Andalucia with a FABULOUS wine and we can't find it anywhere here! and we're in New York ...
The name of the maker is Gutierrez-Colosia, the wine is Pedro Ximenez, a sweet dessert wine. Tastes like nothing else I've ever tasted and it evokes the lovely restaurant in Cordoba where they introduced us to this amazing wine, on the house...
A lot of those Spanish sherries are not exported: most that are contain sulfites (which I can't handle).
The Grapes (
Uvas) are Pedro Ximenez and there are probably other Cream Sherries made with thos same grapes: read the labels on the bottles
If you're in Washington, D.C., try Central Liquors (near 10th & New York Ave.) or if you get over to Newark, N.J., check the Yellow Pages for 'probables' and let your fingers do the walking: You may not find any from Bodegas Gutierrez-Colosia but you should be able to find a similar Cream Sherry.
The Brits love Cream Sherry! the people who make 'Dry Sack' (Willams & Humbert?) might have a Pedro Ximenez Cream Sherry.
Once, I had occasion to drink some sweet sherry while eating Pecan Pie. It sent tingles down my spine ...
