A friend mailed me to bring to my attention this list of wines by the glass, including no fewer than ten sherries, at Barcelona Wine Bar in West Hartford. The list has a bit of everything – fino, manzanilla, amontillado, palo cortado and oloroso, from palomino and px, Jerez, Sanlucar and Montilla Moriles. If you were over critical you might point out that the Maestro Sierra is for some reason attributed to Alvear.

I am also glad to report in fact that it is just one of several locations (12 in total, in Connecticut, Georgia, Massachusetts and DC). Get down to your local neighbourhood Barcelona wine bar!
