Niepoort Vintage Porto 2005 Portugal

At this point the wine is plumy and spicy, also a bit closed in, I would recommend decanting it opens after about 4-8 hours, due to its youth. For a vintage port, it is somewhat lighter on the palate than you might expect. Although it is often the case that one should say it is a vintage port once it's opened, perhaps because of its youth, you might get an extra night out of this one. If you decide to give it as a gift, it will really begin to show its stuff in another 5 years. It should certainly have a 10 to 15 year life span beyond that.

Kopke Dry White Port Portugal

They call this "dry" but only by comparison to sweet port. It's a little fruity and it is usually consumed on the rocks or with tonic. White port is also used in old school cocktails.

Noval Ten Year Old Tawny Port Portugal

Now that I've entered my thirties, for better or worse, the days of bottom shelf gin and no-name frozen orange juice no longer exist.  Somewhere along the way, it became about the journey and not the destination.  Aged Tawnies have a place in every wine drinker's home whether it be with dessert, a nice way to relax after a hard day at work, or something special to share with guests.  This bottle is packed with figs, caramel, and toasted deliciousness all centered around a perfect amount of sweetness. So don't use to small a glass and be comfortable with the fact you're old enough to remember when U2 was cool and Michael Stipe had hair. -John (The new guy.)

Broadbent Madeira Malmsey 10 years Portugal

The cool thing about Madeira is that it doesn't go bad. Part of the process of making it involves oxidation and heating it to over 100 degrees for a long time. So by the time you get it, the wine will not fade after it has been opened. This outstanding 10 year has a deep, amber color, and aromas of caramel and walnuts. The texture is rich and sweet with a little mocha and brown spices.

La Cosecha Fino Sherry Unblended Santa Maria Spain

Dry. Pale golden in color, with a delicate almond aroma, dry and light on the palate and aged under "flor" for at least three years. This goes exceptionally well with tapas like dishes. You will find yourself consuming it like you do regular wine.

Cesar Florido Moscatel Pasas Chipona Spain

Bodegas Cesar Florido was founded in 1887 . This small family producer is one of the few estates that bottles wine made from grapes grown on their own property. Moscatel is a specialty of this area, but since there is not much demand for this type of sherry these days, most of the locals sell their production to the large sherry houses in Jerez. Florido is one of the few producers left devoted to making high quality Moscatel. For this wine the grapes are dried for two to three weeks prior to crushing and fermenting. The result is an intensely flavored elixer with nuances of dried fruits and nuts, and balanced by fresh acidity. Try this and you will be converted.
