NAPA VALLEY NATURALS: Sherry Vinegar 15 Stars, 12.7 oz

Several years ago, Kendall traveled south from Madrid to Jerez de la Frontera in the Adalusia region of southern Spain. There, the ripe and pendulous bunches of Palomino grapes, nurtured by the warm climate and challenged by the sunbaked and chalky soil, were ready to be handpicked and pressed into the unique and delicious fortified wine known as Sherry. Our Reserve quality Sherry Vinegar uses a 96 year-old family starter to impart a flavor of toasted nuts and caramel, and is aged in a Solera, a succession of White Oak Casks from which vinegar of various ages is blended to perfection. With a nose redolent of almonds and caramel, a flavor of toasted nuts and chocolate, and an unmistakable sweet and robust taste, this Sherry Vinegar brings a unique complexity to cooking.
