Ticket Type General Admission

Instructors: Kaleigh Swift

Class Type: Social Hour | These are our "education lite" classes--a fun, social atmosphere where you'll walk away with new information, but are still able to enjoy time with your friends in a casual setting.

WHAT YOU'LL GET IN THIS CLASS:

a welcome beverage and instructor-led mini flight of sherry and pintxos
tasting stations with more sherry and pintxos
special pricing on all featured sherries

Like a lot of things your grandparents enjoyed, Sherry is hip again! But for many of us, Sherry never went anywhere. (Don't call it a comeback!) It's cheap and cheerful with unrivalled versatility. Bone-dry fino, salty manzanilla, raisiny sweet oloroso, ranging from delicate and ethereal to heady and intense. (No, your grandmother's creamed Sherry won't be making an appearance). Join us for a casual evening of education about this special fortified wine as we indulge in some pintxos alongside them. Think of Pinxtos like Basque tapas or appetizers like pan con tomate, tortilla de patatas, boquerones, and more. You'll start off with a welcome pairing of a sherry with a pinxto to enjoy on our rooftop patio (weather permitting), before a brief seated flight of sherries. Afterwards, you'll move to tasting stations throughout the Event Space to enjoy more sherries and pintxos.
