EasyPeezy...It doesn't say on the bottle, but I would say that it is closer to a medium-dry sherry. It's not overly sweet. I don't have a wide variety of sherries where I live. I'm lucky that they have it at all in the local, grocery store. I find the better stuff in their liquor section. It's not the same as the inferior, "cooking sherry," that you can find in the condiments section of the store. You would think that one of the many vineyards around here would start producing some specialty sherries and ports. I guess that it's just not that popular and they're afraid to take a chance on it. Plus, it takes a long time to mature.

I got turned on to really good ports when I went to Portugal. Wow...so smooth and such amazing flavor. So many different kinds too. Our hotel would leave us a small bottle of Port every evening with two glasses. It wasn't even a fancy hotel. The Portuguese are very proud of their ports and really like to show them off.
