DOESN'T WORK
Gonzales-Byass "Una Palma" Fino Sherry
Jerez, Spain
White, Still
Pairing Idea: This specific wine
This works very well in terms of flavor and aroma. It's a bit overpowering in body and alcohol. I think we should try a fino and we could get more of a lift character in the sherry. This is lovely but a bit too big, which is surprising to me because the crab is not inconsequential in flavor.
