This was a great piece and podcast! I think what you said about sherry culture thriving on tapas-style snacking is right: it's great to have a little glass with a little bite, then hop over to a new places and do that again. But we aren't quite set up for that in the US like they are in Spain. Anyway, I think the Lustau bodega in Jerez could make a fair claim to be the nicest-smelling place in the world. We went there on our honeymoon a few years ago :o)
DrinksBusiness (2017) "After a tumultuous few years the fortunes of Sherry may be about to turn, believes Gonzalez Byass, with the IWSR predicting sales of premium Sherry to grow 18% by 2021, helped by a boom in premium spanish restaurants and interest by younger consumers."
> Wonder if this prediction came true? Do you know the answer?
