Sherry, Madeira & Tawny Port

$35 per person-RESERVATIONS REQUIRED Seating Limited

What do the Brits know that we don't?

An appreciation of fine sherry for one, a love of Madeira for another, and a passion for Tawny Port! Tonight Ronnie Grant, our Iberian wine guy, assembles a thrilling line-up of some of the world's most unique and flavorful wines. The Spanish wines from Jerez range from bone dry, clean and light to rich, nutty-flavored and sweet. The Portuguese wines from the isle of Madeira are the longest lived wines in the world, and their unique method of vinification makes them original, and celebrated for centuries. Finally, Ronnie will offer a selection of Tawny Ports, with all their sweet richness, complexity, and depth.

Man, I can't slide anything past you guys LOL. And yeah I got a huge laugh out of that one too when I read it.

I'll call them and try to find out what they are pouring in case anyone reading this may want to go. Not sure if I can make it, depends on if I get all my errands done that day or not.
