Jerez
Gonzalez Byass Elegante Fino
There doesn’t seem to be much good news in the paper these days. Words like economic meltdown, recession, jobs cuts and such seem to be on every page. It’s a good thing the only market I follow is the local farmer’s market, all these tales of woe could drive a man to drink. If you have done your wad in the market, at least you can find some reasonably priced sherry to dull the pain.
This note has been hanging around for a while, but this is a good budget priced fino to while away a few hours with.
Very pale in the glass, you could almost confuse it for water. The nose is full of healthy flor character, green apples and a hint of salty nuts. Fairly basic in the mouth, fresh apple and roasted almonds with zingy acid and . Fresh and light, it’s a fun drink with plenty to offer at this price point. 86 Pts.

Can you help??
We now live in very rural Canada and are told,by our Provincial Monopoly liquor store that “Elegante is no longer made”. We’re sure that this is rubbish!
We’re amateurs on the net and are trying to find out whether Canada, with its import quotas etc, does import Elegante.
My lady wife has a liking for DRY sherry and Tio Pepe is somewhat more expensive!
I thought I’d found Gonzalez Byass but no reply to an e-mail after the auto achknowedgement.
Not a suffisticated palate query,but HELP

I can assure you that it is still being made. I could put you on to someone here in Australia, but I’m not sure that would help.
You could also try contacting your local Spanish Console General, they often know what is going on with this kind of stuff or knows who does.
