The Great Sherry Tasting 2013

The Great Sherry Tasting 2013 is an event in Amsterdam, Holland, held on Monday 30th of September (Holland has traditionally been an important market for sherry). It is supported by ICEX, the Spanish Institute of Foreign Trade and aimed at professionals (cooks, wine shops, wine educators…).

The whole day, more than 100 sherries will be presented by their producers and importers. In the morning, Beltrán Domecq, the current president of the Consejo Regulador, will give an introduction to the world of sherry wines. In the afternoon there are masterclasses about food pairing, sherry sales ideas and en rama sherry. An interesting event – it is certainly true that there is a big need for education among professionals, although I hope they’ll organise a similar sherry fair for consumers as well.

Subscription is possible until 23rd of September. For more information, see http://www.vinos-de-espana.nl/?pageArea=19
