Mercado Little Spain, José Andrés' love letter to Spain, is excited to celebrate Sherry Week from November 6 to 12. Sherry is a fortified wine from Jerez, Spain, that has been enjoyed for centuries. It is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed on its own or used in cocktails and cooking. During Sherry Week, Mercado Little Spain will have selections from more than 30 countries. With specials and highlights available by the glass, bottle or flight, there is no better time to learn all about this golden-hued Andalusian fortified wine.
