No sherry here, just a spot of scientific research into alternative possible pairings for callos at the bar of Media Racion with some white, red and bubbles.

The bubbles, a recommendation by David Outeiral, the new somm here, actually work pretty well: that sharpness and acidity really stands up well and cleans out the palate.

But for me you still can’t beat an oloroso – it not only stands up to the callos, it lifts them up. Fight fire with fire people!
