Callejuela Manzanilla Sherry
Jerez, Spain
White, Still
Pairing Idea: This specific wine
I feel like this is a bit flabby. It's surprising because there's no tannin in the wine, but there is dryness that is almost searing. I see both the wine and crab have some sweetness to them but almost different genres. The weights match nicely. The sherry tastes blah, flat.
