Sherry Wine

Once opened, sherry is best stored in the refrigerator to preserve its flavor. The tighter the seal, the longer it will last. It will oxidize over time, changing its flavor.

Use drier sherries (Fino, Manzanilla) for savory dishes like sauces, soups, and deglazing pans.

Sweeter sherries (Oloroso, Pedro Ximénez) are excellent for desserts, marinades, and glazes.

Don't be afraid to use it in marinades for meats like chicken, pork, and lamb.

A splash of sherry can add depth to mushroom dishes or pan sauces.

Using cooking sherry instead of a quality drinking sherry. Cooking sherry often contains salt and preservatives that can negatively impact your dish.

Overpowering delicate flavors with too much sherry. Start with a smaller amount and add more if needed.

Not refrigerating after opening. This will cause the wine to spoil more quickly.
