With the holidays upon us and the restless turbulent world on our minds, its time to reflect on the important things in life. Family, friends & a good bottle of Port.

With the holidays upon us and the restless turbulent world on our minds, its time to reflect on the important things in life. Family, friends & a good bottle of Port. By Chef Ty Turner, Garre Winery, Livermore, California |
Port is a fortified wine in which grape brandy
is added during the fermentation process so that a considerable amount of sweetness
is retained in the final product. Port wine pairs nicely with chocolate desserts,
pungent cheeses, beef, and the earthy flavors of mushrooms.
Jackson Cellars 2000 Port from Livermore Valley is unique. This Alameda County
gold medal winning Port touts hand picked Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and high
quality brandy from St. George Spirits. This, in addition to small oak cask
aging, makes it the perfect choice for pairing with the two recipes that follow.
Chocolate
Mocha Walnut Tart
Beef Tenderloin w/ Portobello Port Gorgonzola Sauce
