We all have a reason to drink wine!

my favorite: Port wine

During Christmas, we often drink :
- sparkling wine before dinner
- white wine with seafood
- red wine with meat
- and again sparkling wine with the yule log

But this year, to finish the Christmas dinner,
 I have tasted red Port wine:

        Porto Ruby - Ferreira

                   GREAT!!!
Fresh, Fruity in particular crystallized, Enjoyable,...

Personally, I don't drink regularly Port wine. But I was suprised and pleased with this one. Before, during or after, Port wine could accompany you at different part of your meal: the result is unusual but excellent !


There is only one place in the world where it can be produce: the Douro Valley. Situated in the north of Portugal, this vineyard extends along the Douro river and covers 250 000 hectares, among which 10% are planted.



The Port wine is an older drink: Produced since some century, it became so famous that in 1756, the authorities demarcated the production of the region, thus creating the first appellation (control of origin) in the world!



Taste Port wine and have a pleasant time ;) Henri
