Vintage Wines, and
Vintage Port. It is essential to find the right balance between your main dish and
your wine. The goal is to find a wine that adds
to the meal, not one that conflicts with it. For example, Merlots
are very popular and go well with red meat, rich sauces, and cheese.
For chocolate lovers, try a ruby port or a vintage character such
as grahams six grapes, or smith woodhouse lodge reserve. It has
an overall fruity taste and suits most salads. As always, remember
that when you need the perfect wine, come to us!

a love for fine old tawnies. With the independence of the
quintas and changes in export regulations, many companies
have built air conditioned aging cellars up in the douro.
I suspect that restaurants choose younger vintages because
they are easier to handle. Here comes the importance of
stockpiling the wines you like. Old tawnies are easy to
handle and serve. Most people have a passion for particular
brands and stick to them throughout their drinking lives.
Port is a fortified wine, which means that it has been strengthened
with grape spirit. The crusty residue of old ports 30 or
40 year old, once the wine has been decanted off, makes
a base for a superb sauce for gamey meat dishes. Standard port should
be drunk within a year or two of purchase.
