Ah, the sweet floral aroma and the spicy tang of a sherry wine vinegar! This summer, when craving fresh green crunchy lettuce, I think of drizzling vinaigrette made with sherry wine vinegar all over it. Sherry wine vinegar, called vinagre de Jerez in Spain, is aged in a similar way to balsamic vinegar. In Spain, you can find sherry wine vinegar from Jerez de la Frontera aged for 75 years. The aged sherry wine vinegar can be used similarly to an aged balsamic -- as a condiment for desserts and even cheese.
