- Duane Meissner - 11-05-2008 To chill, or not to chill... This is my question. DM - Innkeeper - 11-05-2008 Yes, chill it. - Thomas - 11-05-2008 Definitely chill it, and expect it to be sweet. - Duane Meissner - 11-06-2008 I guessed as much, but then got to thinking, "I probably wouldn't chill a brandy..." and went ahead and asked. Thanks for the advice! It's a Romariz white port - nice, but nothing fancy. Certainly worth the 8.50 Euros I paid for it. Saw it on the shelf and thought I'd try something new without paying an arm and a leg. - wondersofwine - 11-06-2008 I have only tried white Port once but think it is a nice treat in the summer. I just don't see it at the retailer that often. - TheEngineer - 11-06-2008 Chill baby chill!! BTW, there are a few styles of white port. Some are "fresher" and those work well in a mixed drink as well. I live something called a port splash (i tried it at Sandeman when I was in Porto) and it is 1/3 white port 2/3's sparkling water and a small slice of lemon. - wondersofwine - 11-07-2008 Engineer, I think that was one of the recommended drinks at a Port seminar I attended in Raleigh. - Bucko - 11-07-2008 Just a quick input from a talk I gave on Port: Comes in two varieties, dry and sweet. Usually drunk slightly chilled as an aperitif. Grapes - Arinto, Gouveio, Malvasia and Viosinho are the most common. Drink while young – it oxidizes quickly. Food matches - Roasted almonds, hard crumbly cheese, such as Wensleydale, Cheshire. - chittychattykathy - 11-20-2008 "it is 1/3 white port 2/3's sparkling water and a small slice of lemon." and a small amount of mint or basil (muddled)-- tasty! - Innkeeper - 11-21-2008 Well, well, well; long time no hear from CCK! - TheEngineer - 11-21-2008 All it took was a bit of white port to get CCK out [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb/smile.gif[/img] Nice to hear from yah! - Kcwhippet - 11-21-2008 Could it really be?? Kat is back?? Good to see you here again!! - Thomas - 11-21-2008 She saw my long overdue post on another thread and she couldn't resist.
