Winner of the 2009 U.S. Sherry Cocktail Competition, the Bread & Wine hits as a fantastic cocktail on many levels. It features the Sherry as a co-base spirit and draws out the elements so carefully crafted into this amazing ingredient. The inherent nuttiness, balanced, lingering bitter notes and mild fruit tones pop as they combine with the exquisitely crafted single malt. The touch of lemon brightens all of the flavors as the maple syrup becomes a perfect partner to bridge the flavors of Jerez and Speyside. A light rinse of absinthe contributes the final layer of complexity, adding an element of intrigue and eluding to amazing food flavor combinations.

Pairing Oloroso with food
The ideal temperature at which to serve an Oloroso is at between 12 and 14ºC.
This is the most suitable wine to accompany red meat and game. It combines perfectly with meat stews and casseroles; especially gelatinous meat such as bull's tail or cheeks. The perfect match for wild mushrooms and well cured cheeses.
