THIS FRIDAY NIGHT
We are running so very late this week that there is almost no time at all to list the goodies we have for this week's tasting.
Let
me just say that in addition to some very tasty fall selections - This
Friday is a good night to sample something different. When is the last
time that you tried White Port? This is a very traditional
European thing - chilled white port is just right before dinner and just
after that drive home from work.
White
Port is made the same way as other Port wine but is made from
white--rather than red--grapes, and little juice-to-skin contact is
allowed. This produces a bright, clear wine.
White
Port is a polarizing style of port produced by every major house on the
Douro river. The style, often derided by traditionalists, has become
increasingly popular as a chilled aperitif and mixing agent in
cocktails. Typically inexpensive, white port is almost universally
produced to a medium (or higher) sweetness level.
Cellar Club Members may choose one bottle of Santa Eufémia red or white port at no additional charge.
Please join us every Friday
5:00-8:00 PM - No Charge
BUZZ
We are booking the coming months with many special events and
guests - some informal, some a little more formal. But all of them
entertaining.
Thank
you all for the continued support - it has made a lot of things
possible for us. We sincerely appreciate all of the interest and
comments.
