Port,
lush and sweet, is one of the most delicious wines in the world. So why, oh why
do we only buy it at Christmas? Stand up and be counted Port-lovers or this
wine may die out. Port is one of the great classics of the wine world, but
needn’t be treated like a museum piece. We will demonstrate that Port is a
style that is as valid today as it was 300 years ago.
Our
Goal
We
want you to drink more port! Of course bottle-aged Vintage Port is the most
famous style, but let’s not forget the more affordable fresh white Ports and
wood-aged styles like Tawny, Crusted and LBV.
We also want to show the versatility of this wine. Yes, port is great
with Stilton, but we will also show you some other great Port and food
combinations such as chocolate!
