González Byass Sherry Cathedral
In 1835, a 23-year-old named Manuel María González bought a small winery next to the Jerez Alcázar, named his finest Fino after his uncle Pepe, and accidentally built the world's most famous sherry house. The bodega's iron-domed La Concha pavilion was designed by Gustav Eiffel's school 17 years before the Tower. Pablo Picasso signed a cask here from French exile. And every morning, a glass of sherry is set on the cellar floor with a tiny ladder — for the mice, who have lived here unmolested since cats were permanently banned. Taste the wine that mathematically contains drops of every vintage since 1835, then ask a guide why Judas got the worst barrel.
