OVERVIEW
We’re going to be doing quite a few tastings here at Corked. Lots of you who’ve been through the doors have asked, and we really wanted to get these off the ground sooner rather than later. So why not the middle of January?
It’s still very much winter, the nights are long, and there’s been lots of love for the sherries we’ve been pouring behind the bar. With that in mind, it felt right to begin at the deeper end of the spectrum.
This tasting focuses on the darker styles of sherry. Think richness, warmth, oxidative depth and lingering sweetness. Wines shaped by time and oxygen, perfect for cold evenings and slow conversations. We’ll explore how Oloroso, Palo Cortado blends and PX develop their intensity, and why they’re far more versatile and compelling than most people expect.
It’s a winter gathering rather than a formal masterclass. Full glasses and plenty of time to sit with each wine and see where it takes you. 🍷
We only have a small space and we imagine tickets will go fast (especially in winter!) so email quick and we’ll pop details over on how to secure your spot!
EVENT 1...
Shapes of Sherry @ Corked
Sherry, but not as you think it is.
Join us at Corked for an evening exploring the darker, richer end of the sherry spectrum. This tasting dives into wines shaped by time, oxygen, and patience, where sweetness, savoury depth and quiet power live side by side.
On the night you’ll taste:
A beautifully structured Oloroso
A rare VORS Palo Cortado / PX blend, old, layered and full of intrigue
The unapologetic richness of González Byass PX
Alongside these, we’ll be serving two classic sherry cocktails.
To keep things grounded Flour Will Fly; our neighbours down the alley, will be providing thoughtful nibbles designed to play nicely with the glasses in hand.
We’ll talk origins, ageing, and why these wines taste the way they do, without lectures or pretence. Just good bottles, good drinks, and a bit of shared curiosity.
6pm start, drifting through to 8 or 9ish.
Everything included in the price.
Come for the sherry. Stay for the shape it leaves behind. 🍷✨
