Sherry (English /ˈʃɛri/, Spanish: Jerez [xeˈɾeθ] or [xeˈɾes]) is a fortified wine made from white grapes that are grown near the town of Jerez de la Frontera in Andalusia, Spain. Sherry is produced in a variety of styles made primarily from the Palomino grape, ranging from light versions similar to white table wines, such as Manzanilla and Fino, to darker and heavier versions that have been allowed to oxidise as they age in barrel, such as Amontillado and Oloroso. Sweet dessert wines are also made from Pedro Ximenez or Moscatel grapes, and are sometimes blended with Palomino-based Sherries.
The word "Sherry" is an anglicisation of Xeres (Jerez). Sherry was previously known as sack, from the Spanish saca, meaning "extraction" from the solera. In Europe, "Sherry" has protected designation of origin status, and under Spanish law, all wine labelled as "Sherry" must legally come from the Sherry Triangle, an area in the province of Cádiz between Jerez de la Frontera, Sanlúcar de Barrameda, and El Puerto de Santa María. In 1933 the Jerez Denominación de Origen was the first Spanish denominación to be officially recognised in this way, officially named D.O. Jerez-Xeres-Sherry and sharing the same governing council as D.O. Manzanilla Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
Artprojx presents The Poetics of Anxiety and Melancholia Selected by David Gryn, Director and Founder of Artprojx. In 1929 Edward Doheney Jr and his personal assistant were found shot to death in the former's opulent residence, Greystone Mansion. The official finding was murder-suicide: the assistant killed Doheny and then shot himself, but the facts just didn't add up. Some dubbed it a lover's quarrel; others blamed Doheny's wife. Many suspected foul play as the two men had recently been called to testify against Doheny's father in a bribery scandal. Greystone stages a series of interpretations of what might actually have occurred, using only dialog appropriated from Hollywood films also shot in the storied estate.
