I remember the first time to taste the wine Shirley, is inSevilleThe April festival exhibition, passionate flamenco singer Francesco invited me to taste, he also repeatedly stressed, Shirley wine is a fortified wine, this wine is very strong. At that time, after taste, feel Shirley wine is only white wine, rather than the Chinese liquor, is far from enough, Francesco was to me this evaluation is surprised. However, from first to last, no real understanding of Shirley. May be due to too like mellow Spanish red wine, white wine is a contemptuous disregard.
