The final episode focusing on sherry - in this instance, the many different styles of sweet sherry and the methods of making them.
This blog began as a record of taking the WSET Diploma, during which I studied and explored wines and spirits made all around the world. Having passed the Diploma and become a WSET Certified Educator, the blog has become much more: a continual outlet for my passion for the culture of wine, spirits, and beer.
I aim to educate in an informal, enlightening, and engaging manner. As well as maintaining this blog to track my latest enthusiasms, I provide educational tastings for restaurants and for private groups. Details can be found on the website, and collaborations are welcome.
Wine is my primary interest and area of expertise and this blog aims to immerse the reader in the history of wine, to understand why wine tastes like it does, and to explore all the latest news. At the same time, beer and spirits will never be ignored.
For the drinker, whether casual or professional, today is a good time to be alive.

The final episode focusing on sherry - in this instance, the many different styles of sweet sherry and the methods of making them.
Although the vineyard plays an important role in sherry, the varied styles are a result of what happens in the winery. Learn how production methods - from fortification to ageing - affect the styles of fino, manzanilla, amontillado, oloroso, and palo cortado.
The different styles of sherry owe a lot to how they are made in the winery, but a lot happens in the vineyard too.
Continuing the series on fortified wine, this episode gives an overview of sherry: its history, the way in which the industry has developed over the centuries, and recent trends that have seen producers try to revive the popularity of sherry.
