Bar Pepito, London's First Sherry Bar
Filed under: Wine
Sherry has a bit of an image problem, it's seen as a drink from the past rather than a drink for the future. Last year I wrote about the campaign from The Sherry Council of America to get younger people interested in drinking sherry. Now sherry is getting a boost in London with the opening of the city's first sherry bar on Friday. Bar Pepito is an off-shoot of Camino and is located across the courtyard from Camino in King's Cross. The bar is an Andalusian-style bodega with the modern touch of an Enomatic wine dispenser offering small pours of eight different sherry styles. Sherry flights will also be available and can be paired with a cold food menu designed by Camino head chef Nacho del Campo that includes offers Spanish classics like pata negra jamón from Extremadura, jamón, olives, almonds and chorizos, regional cheeses and locally sourced fish and meat.
According to Decanter Camino's Richard Bigg got his inspiration from travels in the Jerez region and the bar was developed with support from the Sherry house González Byass, the makers of Tio Pepe fino. The wine list includes 15 sherries from dry finos and manzanillas through to sweet Pedro Ximénez and moscatel. All the sherries are available by both the glass and the bottle. The bar is open Wednesday to Saturday from 5pm until midnight.
