Starting to plan your menu for the swiftly approaching holidays? Having trouble landing on which protein to choose and solidifying a headcount? One certainty is the cook and the pot will benefit from something poured before the doorbell rings. So why not pop the top and divvy some splashes of Lustau Amontillado Los Arcos Sherry between glass and stainless?

A household name stateside since the 1950s, Lustau has been a pillar among Sherry exporters, with an extensive portfolio to boot. An easy tactic for choosing among so many new favorites, the Sherry Council recommends Fino if it swims, Amontillado if it flies, and Oloroso if it runs. Thus, if turkey’s in your very near future, the 8 year-aged Los Arcos’ notes of hazelnuts, raisins, ripe fruit and cinnamon will make an excellent match.

Whether it’s before the meal or after, Lustau’s a great companion at your holiday table. It goes even better alongside your furry companion as you mise en place and catch the National Dog Show after the parade.
