Wine Class – Port

Join Certified Sommelier Josh Voytek on an introduction to Port wines. While Port wines have historically been the most acclaimed wines from the country of Portugal, these fortified wines can be quite a bit different in terms of styles, from white port, to ruby, vintage port and tawny. As most people’s association or experience with Port has been as rich dessert wines, one may be surprised to find that these different styles can produce quite a range in terms of flavor profiles from dried fruit to caramel to honey to nuts to citrus notes and many other flavors in between. Ports are also very food-friendly wines, and not just at the end of the meal. In addition, for those who love making cocktails, Port can provide a great ingredient to provide a complex depth of flavor to your concocted libations. Whether you have tried Port in the past or are a complete novice to the world of Port, this will be a fun class to introduce you to the world of Port and the diversity of expressions it can provide, just in time for the holidays, so you can figure out the right Port to bring to your holiday gathering!
