Last Friday night I met a friend at this wonderful little Spanish tapas restaurant at 345 East 12th Street in Manhattan.  She happens to love sherry, as do I,  and so we specifically made a date to go out and drink it.  It's not always easy finding another  sherry aficionado (especially one who is fun to hang out with!) nor is it easy to find a good sherry list in a Manhattan restaurant!  Many people assume sherry is sweet and not something they would drink alongside a meal.  In reality, most sherry is dry and goes really well with many kinds of food.
