Not the Seaport... Port wine, also known as, Vinho do Porto, Porto, and often simply Port, is a Portuguese style of fortified wine originating from the Douro Valley in the northern provinces of Portugal. There are over 100 different grape varieties that are used to produce Port. Although Touriga Nacional is the most celebrated Port grape, the difficulty of growing it and its small yields result in Touriga Francesa being the most widely-planted variety within the Douro.
So come take a quick trip to Portugal this Saturday, and learn about the different types and styles of Port!!! |

GRAHAMS SIX GRAPES PORTO This non-vintage Ruby Port is made in the style sometimes called "Vintage Character" because its full and tannic structure emulates that of the more pricey, ageworthy vintage wine. Very dark purple in color, almost black, its aroma focuses on black fruit, plums and prunes. Sweet fruit, tart acidity, and smooth but substantial tannins come together on the palate in a dessert wine that's bold but not as fierce or unapproachable as a youthful Vintage Port. Good balance and assertive Port character. Made from six Port-grape varieties, hence the name: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, Tinta Roriz, Tinta Barroca, Tinta Amarela and Tintao Cão.
