Call around to a few other liquor stores (if there are any in a reasonable
distance) and inquire as to what they have. Taylor is mediocre and is fine
for cooking with but I wouldn't call it "particularly special". You do need
to find out if she likes a sweet or dry sherry; if you don't want to ask her
directly is there someone who could find out for you?
