The fruit is pressed quickly at vinification facilities on the outskirts of Jerez or in the vineyards themselves, and then the must is put into giant steel tanks for fermentation. It's after fermentation that the Sherry-making process really begins.

In an interview he did with Behind the Burner (link here if you'd like to read it: http://www.behindtheburner.com/expert/frank_caiafa.html), he talks about how it's very competitive with mixologists in New York City and beyond; do you think that using fresher ingredients and haute liquor is a big part of improving the cocktail?

I speak from experience, sitting in the Swizzle Stick in New Orleans with Lu behind the bar, pouring you the perfect cocktail (Sidecar, please) -- it doesn't get any better than that.
