Sherry and Pata Negra Iberico Ham Tasting Journey at Flatiron

At the intersection of deep expertise and genuine hospitality, Flatiron Wines & Spirits stands as one of the most respected authorities in wine, sake, and spirits. Since its founding in 2012, Flatiron has redefined the modern wine shop—pairing the warmth and personal guidance of a neighborhood retailer with the breadth and access of a world-class merchant.

Driven by a philosophy rooted in terroir and tradition, Flatiron’s team curates a collection that tells the story of place: from small, artisanal producers to benchmark estates and rare, collector-level bottles. Their approach goes beyond retail—it is educational, immersive, and deeply personal. Every interaction is an opportunity to explore the nuances of a region, a vintage, or a producer’s philosophy.

Rooted in centuries of Spanish tradition, this experience pairs the complexity of Ibérico ham with the remarkable diversity of Sherry. Guests are introduced to a range of styles—from the saline sharpness of Fino and Manzanilla to the nutty depth of Amontillado and the richness of Oloroso—alongside expertly sourced Ibérico cuts that showcase varying levels of aging and marbling.

Through guided tasting, participants discover how Sherry’s oxidative and biological aging processes interact with the umami, fat, and texture of the ham. The result is a deeply cultural and flavorful journey into Andalusia, where each pairing reflects a legacy of craftsmanship and time.
