End the evening with vintage ports

Here are a few tips for your next special evening. Before dinner, Cristal champagne is a tried and true favorite. Because of the light, bubbly taste, this wine is the perfect appetizer. Serve with mild or strong cheeses or even some Mexican or spicy Asian dishes to get the evening started right! The main course calls for something full flavored like our Rhone wines for hearty meals like steak and potatoes. A lighter wine such as a chardonnay should be paired with lighter fare like chicken and stir-fry veggies. Once dinner is served and you are relaxing over dessert, consider a port. Port wine has a somewhat sweet taste, which makes it the perfect dessert wine. This drink also goes well with a fine after-dinner cigar. Vintage ports, a fortified red wine with brandy, make a wonderful accompaniment to fine cigars whether mild or full flavored.
