Think Port is just a sweet wine for the end of a meal? Think again! From the fresh, citrusy, and sometimes surprisingly dry character of White Port to the dark fruit and structure of Late Bottled Vintage, the power and concentration of Vintage Port, and the nutty, oxidative complexity of Tawny Port, there’s a lot more to Port than sweetness. Join Maegan for a deep dive into six distinctive Ports as we explore the Douro Valley, traditional grape varieties, fortification, and the fascinating ways Port evolves with age.
And what’s Port without a little experimentation? We’ll play with food pairings to discover how different styles interact with sweet, salty, savory, and rich flavors. Think beyond the classic chocolate pairing and see what happens when Port meets cheese, nuts, and other fun nibbles.
Whether you’re a longtime Port lover or simply curious about this wonderfully diverse category, you’ll leave with a new appreciation for what’s in your glass, and plenty of inspiration for your next after-dinner pour. Come taste, compare, and play with Port!
