DOESN'T WORK
Valdespino "Tio Diego" Amontillado Sherry
Jerez, Spain
White, Still
Pairing Idea: This specific wine
The high alcohol is a bit pungent and brings out a bit of bitterness at the end of the dish. The flavors mesh really nicely, but I find the alcohol a little bit overwhelming. Quite heavy.
