Substitutes for Sherry

[DanM]

Good evening,

I have been asked to make a birthday cake for my mother in law and want to make a chocolate, hazelnut, and sherry cake with sherry-raisin cream from Crazy Water Picked Lemon, by Diana Henry. The only catch is that I cannot find any kosher sherry in the DFW area. What are some decent substitutes that I can use?

Thanks

Dan

Are there kosher versions of marsala or madiera? Or port? Another fortified wine is my first thought.

When do you need the cake? kosherwine.com has a dry sherry on their site.
