Wisdom & Warter Extra Amontillado Sherry ($9.49) This modestly
priced Amontillado is a clear, light golden-brown, approaching a
caramel color. Its appealing aroma is full of nutlike character
that mixes walnuts with something lighter like pecans. It's all
walnuts in the flavor, though; black walnuts, freshly cracked
from the shell, rich and full-bodied, with a hint of a yeasty
fresh-bread note and a gently sharp lemony tang to add structure
and flavor interest. Neither a traditional table wine nor a
dessert wine, it requires Sherry's usual paradigm reset, well
worth making the effort on a cold winter night. US Importer:
Excelsior Wine and Spirits, Old Brookville, N.Y. (Feb 1, 2004)
FOOD MATCH: Served by itself as an after-dinner drink. For
accompanying munchies, think of complementary flavors: Cracked
nuts, robust cheeses (even blue cheese) and dried fruit.  WEB
