Sherry imported from Spain usually has lost most of its fine nuances
because of prolonged storage, et cetera.

Best Sherry I've ever had was in Andalusia, Spain. It's actually an art
to pour it from a height, which aerates the liquid.

Traveling through Spain is like traveling through various tiny
countries; different dialects (I dare to say languages,) foods, drinks,
et cetera. Even people; you can appreciate the arab features in many
Spanish from the South (Andalusia.)
