sherry sauce

Wine-based gravy enhancement

Sherry sauce is a creamy sauce flavored with sherry wine, typically made with butter, cream, and stock.

It's a classic accompaniment to chicken, seafood, and mushrooms: chicken breast in sherry sauce, shrimp with sherry cream sauce.

The fortified wine adds a nutty, slightly sweet depth that distinguishes it from other pan sauces.
