One of the main differences with port would be the wide range of Sherry, from the bone dry to the very sweet. Now, some of the latter would be similar enough to the Portuguese stuff to an uneducated palate like mine. I've never compared and contrasted in a tasting mind. Yeah, the Solera system is interesting alright, quite the Southern Spanish thing.Interesting read! I know nothing at all about sherry, sounds like a complex enough affair.

How would it compare with port to taste?
Ha.. Always up for a wine project!Remember too that Jerez wines were the biggest and best internationally for a long time but went out of fashion and the wine world went more to the dry red which persists today. A project there for ya Honky when you get that bit older.
I kinda hope you didn't think Sherry/Jerez/Xeres was ONLY dry, as in Fino. That would be a bit embarrassing.
