Port – Its Styles and Flavors

This Sunday we will have a very special tasting demonstrating the varied styles of Port wine. Jennifer O’Neil will be here to discuss the differences between Ruby and Tawny, Vintage and Colheita, Late Bottled and Reserve styles. If you have always wondered what the different names of port meant, this is a tasting not to miss. If you love port already and just want to taste some really fantastic wines, you shouldn’t’ miss it either. The discussion starts at 5, and we’ll have you home in time for dinner.

We’ll be tasting:
Kopke, Special Reserve                            $11/375ml           $18/750ml*
2005 Rocha, Late Bottle Vintage             $14/375ml        $21/750ml*
2007 Rocha, Vintage                                        $30/375ml        $50/750ml*
Kopke, 10 Year Old Tawny                      $15/375ml        $25/750ml*
This Tawny would qualify as a 15 year old if that classification existed.
1988 Kopke, Colheita Tawny                     $28/375ml         $51/750ml*
24 years old, this appealing tawny delivers a rich mouthful of deep caramel backed flavors of ripe cherries, hazelnut, sweet fruit tea and orange zest with an enduring and memorable finish. 
Vintage Colheitas make excellent birth year presents.

*750ml bottles available for all these wines by special order, they will be in the following Thursday.

Buy or order any of these ports during the tasting and get 10% off the purchase.
