As per the subject line.
For those of you for whom port just isn't sweet enough...
Seriously, though, I have had El Candado PX and it is glorious. As you probably know, it's a bit too thick and sugary to drink but it's pretty friggin' awesome over vanilla ice cream.

I grabbed 3. I don't usually drink a lot of sherry, but at that price it's a steal. Plus I like the ice cream suggestion.

I guess I fell for the offer also. I have been wanting to try a sherry so I bought 4.
Re: Pedro Ximenez 750mL at Cinderella Wine for $22
Michael, be sure to check out dry sherries as well, like fino. Some of my favorite wines. They go great with Spanish tapas and are often really good buys ($15 and under).
Re: Pedro Ximenez 750mL at Cinderella Wine for $22
Any particular one you recommend, I will get a couple and try it?

I bought 4 as well.

Does this look like a Sherry forum?

No Roy but maybe you should add one. But then there is the Spanish-Portiguese rivalry.

And Mannie is a huge Valdespino fan.
Re: Pedro Ximenez 750mL at Cinderella Wine for $22
I drink my share of Spanish wines and there are several others from the Douro who are involved in winemaking projects in Spain: Portal's Paulo Coutinho and also Cristiano van Zeller come to mind. Anyway, obviously I was just joking ... but there is no chance that there will be a Sherry forum added to FTLOP. A much higher % would be that of Moscatel de Setuabal.

I know this is an older thread but I just opened one of these bottles today. It is unbelievably sweet and thick. I don't really eat a lot of ice cream so I am asking if anyone has a good cocktail to use this in. Maybe a bourbon and cream sherry. Any ideas?
