Time for another Sherry Event at Tabla!

Monday, March 5th

6-9pm

Bonnie Crocker from PDX Wines will be here again, pouring not only the 5 sherry basic flight, but also 4 extraordinary VORS sherries.

These Very Rare Old Sherries average 50-70 years in solera and are very difficult to come by.  This is a unique opportunity to try all these sherries side by side.

In addition to a great tapas pairing for the sherries, Chef Anthony is creating a special custom Spanish menu for those of you who want to stay for dinner after the tasting.
