I’ve been wanting to start a sherry thread. Let’s make this one the sherry thread.

I can polish off a bottle of dry sack in a week, looking for the good stuff now. Any recommendations welcome. I like to drink it cold over ice

Probably going to be a very short thread. There aren't many sherry fans that I have run into and I'm no expert. I mainly drink Lustau Oloroso, the mid range stuff...around $30-$40. Drink it chilled before dinner. I was just curious about any California producers because I haven't noticed any where I shop.

Key California Sherry Producers and Types:
Fairbanks (E&J Gallo): Known for its widely available, accessible, and affordable California Sherry and Cream Sherry.
Christian Brothers: Offers both Dry and Cream Sherry varieties, noted for being aged in oak.
San Antonio Winery: Produces a versatile, light amber, and slightly nutty California Sherry.
Galleano Winery: Produces a more complex, aged, and traditional-style sherry in the Cucamonga Valley.

Thank you. I might try to find the Galleano mentioned in your post.

My favorite spirit to cook with. I love it in braised beef dishes, chinese food, & savory sauces. I particularly like to pair it with port when braising short ribs.

I've taken the occasional nip while cooking and even did a Sherry tasting in culinary school, but that's about my experience. The Oloroso casks make great aging vessels for scotch & whisky...

Aged Sherry vingar is pretty hard to beat for a quick vinaigrette. That's the extent of my contribution to your thread.
