Dessert Wine
For a little moment of luxury, there’s nothing better after dinner then a little glass of port with dessert or all by itself. You don’t have to spend a small fortune for one of life’s little pleasures.
Two favorites:
Taylor Fladgate 10 Year-old Tawny
From Portugal. An exceptionally fine old tawny blend, aged for 10 years in oak casks. Elegant and smooth, combining delicate wood notes and rich mellow fruit, it is bottled for immediate drinking. A superb dessert wine best served at the end of the meal in the same way as Vintage Port.
Serve with chocolate truffles or Stilton blue cheese & unsalted almonds. At Costco $27
EOS Zinfandel Port 2006
From Paso Robles. Intense aromas of prunes, molasses, roasted walnuts and maple syrup fill the nose. Nutty characters glide across the palate with essence of plums and espresso. Spiciness of dry earth, cedar, and cinnamon linger on the palate for an extended finish. serve with chocolates cake or sip it by itself by the fireplace. Will age nicely for 15 years. Excellent wine for this price point. Costco $20
