Can't find Sherry Vinegar!

[SusanT]

I can't find it anywhere in my area, even "gourmet" shops. It's an ingredient in the Oven Roasted Sea Bass w/ Warm Tomato Vinaigrette.

Where have you been able to find it? Can I substitute another type of vinegar?

I too, had a heck of a time finding this, and I live in Chicago where we have EVERYTHING!! I finally found it at a Whole Foods Market (but NOT at the first one I visited! I had to go to another bigger one in the city to find it!) It's a big bottle, and CL says to keep it at room temperature, so I figure it will last a good long time. Maybe Williams-Sonoma has it, or maybe there's an on-line source for it. Good luck.

Susan,

I found mine in Madrid- a little shop a stone's throw from the Prado. I'd love to show you!

I know, I know- Julie, you're not helping, get back to work... http://www.cookinglight.com/bbs/biggrin.gif

Ok - let's jet over to Spain to pick some up!

According to Cook's Thesaurus, you can substitute it with Balsamic Vinegar.

I've substituted white wine vinegar in the past without problems. If it's an Asian dish, I believe I read once that rice or rice wine vinegar is an acceptable substitute.

When I made this the other night, I improvised by using a little red wine vinegar, a few drops of vanilla (can be used as a sub for sherry) and a little bit of white wine......it turned out great!!

I used champagne vinegar to make the Sea Bass recipe because that was what I had on hand. It was wonderful... Haven't been able to find sherry vinegar either.
