amontillado

1 Amontillado always makes me think of the story by Poe, please don't build the wall- interesting to hear its history.

2 Never can I say that my case is desperate while you can swallow your chicken-broth and sip your Amontillado sherry.

3 Poe wouldn’t have written “The Premature Burial,” not to mention “Berenice,” “The Fall of the House of Usher,” “The Cask of Amontillado” and “The Black Cat.”

4 Amontillado is one of those wines that pose an immediate and difficult question: When do I drink this bottle?

5 Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice” and “Othello” are its chief ingredients, with Edgar Allan Poe’s short story “The Cask of Amontillado” thrown in.

6 "What a crowning pleasure would a glass of sherry—that Amontillado of yours—be in such a spot."

7 Kevin Zraly, author of the "Windows on the World Complete Wine Course" now in its 30th edition, has a Thanksgiving tradition "to serve an Amontillado Sherry after the turkey" with fruit and nuts.

8 "To the chap who owns this lodge—a man of taste, a good Samaritan and a gentleman, if a mere vagabond may be a judge of Amontillado."

9 Manzanilla or fino makes an ideal start, while heartier amontillado, palo cortado or oloroso sherries meld seamlessly with umami-rich dishes, such as soups (ramen), stews and anything with mushrooms.

10 That’s a gloss on “The Cask of Amontillado,” and the hour-long experience makes references to lots of Poe — “The Raven,” “The Pit and the Pendulum” and more.

11 His central evidence seemed to be Poe's famous story, "The Cask of Amontillado," in which a man named Montresor bricks up a drunken man named Fortunato, evidently an old friend, behind a wall of masonry.

12 "The Masque of the Red Death" produces an effect of setting, "The Tell-Tale Heart" an effect of character, and "The Cask of Amontillado" an effect of action.

13 It is a light and buttery cake containing sultanas, almonds, Amontillado sherry and candied orange peel.

14 The salinity of Amontillado kind of reminds me of oysters.

15 “A bit lighter and leaner, but still showing plenty of oxidation is Hidalgo-La Gitana’s Amontillado Napoleon, which is perhaps my favorite all-purpose amontillado.”

16 So with the theme of revenge in "The Cask of Amontillado," the theme of mysterious intrigue in "The Assignation."

17 Amontillado should be served cool but not icy — cellar temperature, that is, if your cellar happens to be around 55 degrees.

18 In the more imaginative second, inspired by "The Cask of Amontillado," a news anchor, who is being ousted by a younger woman, compellingly reports her death at the hands of terrorists.

19 They had consumed marvellous quantities of that small Amontillado which is as it were a thin fire to the blood, heating and degenerating at once. 

20 "How came you to put it there, sir?" demanded he, a moment later, as Doyle circumnavigated the table, filling, as ordered, the five little glasses with fragrant Amontillado.
