Bodegas César Florido
Cruz del Mar Oloroso Palomino
Chipiona, Jerez, Andalucía, Spain
A lovely dry Oloroso from this small family boutique winery in Chipiona. They claim to have the vineyards closest to the sea in all of the Jerez (Sherry region). Aromatic notes of candied walnuts, caramel, creme brûlée, and molasses, with the lingering scent of iodine in the background, which comes from the land near the sea. Creamy in the mouth with a luscious acidity. 18% alcohol. It could combine well with a myriad of different dishes from sharp cheeses and nuts to roast chicken or even local sautéed mushrooms. Excellent in every way!

Locked out. On a brooklyn stoop. Drinking out of bottle.
Life could be worse.

Quickly becoming my go-to Oloroso. There is an orange spice thing here, of which I just can't get enough.
