California Farm Fortified Sherry Wine
A fortified wine is a wine that has alcohol added. We make cooking wine from grape juice, measure the wine alcohol and add 50% grain alcohol to make a fortified wine.
To turn fortified wine into sherry wine, we add a piece of american white oak wood inside the plastic pail and age for six months.
It turns the cooking wine we make into a great sherry wine to flavor soups and gravies, with the color and flavor of Amontillado Sherry Wine. This recipe shows you how we make this.
