Talk:Amontillado

"Medium dry Amontillado"
I have a bottle of "Medium dry Amontillado" -- this should probably be described in the article. Is it sweetened, the way "medium sherry" is, only less so? Badagnani (talk) 23:44, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Media Mentions
It is drunk on page 22 of Kerry Greenwood's Murder in Montparnasse: A Phryne Fisher Mystery (2002). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.94.82.148 (talk) 04:09, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

In popular culture
In this section, the last statement about the TV show Frasier is poorly worded. As I don't have much experience with this show, I wouldn't know how to correct it. The phrase "his brother and he" is vague, as these pronouns demonstrate no antecedent. Also, the phrase "almost always" seems poorly worded (potentially weasel words?). Thanks to anyone who can help. -- Jordan042 (talk) 09:15, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Poe
How come Poe depicts it as very rare and expensive wine when it's quite common and pretty cheap? And how come he makes it clear that it's NOT sherry, when it is? Carlo (talk) 02:47, 31 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Poe was badly informed. --Rodeng (talk) 09:37, 19 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Poe did not claim Amontillado is not sherry, his character Fortunato said that. Possibly Poe was indicating that Fortunato is not as much of a wine connoisseur as he believes himself to be.  Mnudelman (talk) 18:46, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Pronunciation wrong?
Wikipedia article states Spanish pronunciation is "[amontiˈʎaðo]", and pronunciation key lists [ʎ] as in English "million", and [ð] as in English "this", which be equate to a pronunciation as "amontillatho". However, many other online sources state the correct Spanish pronunciation is actually "amontiyado". Therefore the Wikipedia pronunciation appears wrong. 2603:8001:6303:55C9:E45D:B03C:ADE9:4736 (talk) 22:16, 25 September 2022 (UTC)


 * See note 4 on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Spanish . It's correct, but the distinction is no longer present for many speakers. 2A00:23C7:548F:C01:316D:FF6:B1E4:438 (talk) 17:32, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

What is a polished note?
An IP editor, 2A02:1810:1E17:0:2561:6519:2A4D:A99B, with no talk page (and who therefore cannot be questioned) added self-described "aromatic characteristics" to the article on 18 March 2017, saying "Amontillado is characterized by nutty aromas, tobacco, aromatic herbs and often ethereal, polished notes of oak." What does "polished" mean (if anything) when describing aroma? O&#39;Dea (talk) 19:15, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

In popular culture: Fallout 4
I just noticed today that in the game Fallout 4, there is a crate of amontillado in the tunnels underneath The Castle (I assume in reference to Poe somehow). Would this be worth adding? Ontheroad1957 (talk) 19:21, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
