God, "not fit for cooking"?????? Sherry is so fundamental to thousands of recipies - the final fillip - or, for pan sauces, the essential additive to deglaze the pan that this quote just took my breath a way. My humble kitchen is equiped, as part of my permanet mis en place, with sherry, port and vermouth ( julia child recommended it for daily use over white wine as it is both white wine and stable ) - please consider the effect of your remarks on civilization as we know it.
