More of Tapas Flights Originating in Spanish taverns, Tapas (meaning “to cover”) were slices of bread or meat which sherry drinkers used to cover their glasses between sips. This was to prevent fruit flies from hovering over the sweet sherry. Tapas has since evolved into many kinds of meat, seafood and veggie small plates usually served with drinks. A Flight is a play on wine terminology. A flight of wine is used to describe a selection of 3 or more glasses presented for sampling. ________ The freshest ingredients and classic techniques make Nectar a world-class restaurant in your own backyard. 1091 Lancaster Ave * Berwyn, PA 19312 * 610-725-9000 www.tastenectar.com
