As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, there's no better time to discover the rich, complex world of sherry. Often overlooked and widely misunderstood, sherry is one of Spain's most fascinating wines, offering an incredible range of styles that pair beautifully with food.

Our special guest, Mike Sadler from Well Oiled Wine Company, will guide us and make sherry approachable and fun as we explore the distinct styles, from crisp and dry to rich and nutty. The featured wines will be from Bodegas Barbadillo, a winery established in 1827. Mike has visited Bodegas Barbadillo in Cádiz and is a passionate sherry expert. Along the way, you'll learn about the history of sherry, the unique Solera aging system, and the traditions of the Sherry Triangle in southern Spain. We'll discuss how sherry is made, what makes each style unique, and why this versatile wine deserves a place at every table.

Each sherry will be thoughtfully paired with a seasonal pintxo inspired by the flavors of fall, showcasing how food and wine can elevate one another. Expect comforting autumn ingredients, creative pairings, and plenty of opportunities to discover new favorites. 

Whether you're completely new to sherry or already a fan, this class will deepen your appreciation for one of Spain's greatest treasures while providing inspiration for effortless fall entertaining.

Be sure to arrive 30 minutes early (5:30 PM) for a light sherry cocktail and to settle in. The tasting will begin promptly at 6:00 PM.

The event includes a welcome cocktail, sherry tastings, paired pintxos, and a lively exploration of the history, production, and enjoyment of one of Spain's most distinctive wines.

After 20 wonderful years in business—and hosting this beloved tasting event for around 15 of them—we are giving our annual tradition a brand-new name and an even better spot on the calendar! This year, we are moving the festivities to Saturday, November 21st, 2026.

We love this event, but over the last two decades, our Thanksgiving weekend has become incredibly busy. By moving the tasting to the weekend before Thanksgiving, we can finally take a breath before the holiday chaos begins—and more importantly, you can discover, sample, and stock up on exceptional Ports in time to enjoy them at your own Thanksgiving and winter holiday tables! Join us to escape the rush and indulge in an evening of rich flavor as we taste our way through five unique Ports paired with five perfectly matched pintxos.
