Sweet, fortified and potentIn our experience, a sweet wine or port at the end of a meal frequently steals the entire show. But these are not only to be drunk at the end of the evening; think of Sauternes and Foie gras as an all-time great food-and wine match. And what about "portonico", the fabulous, the dry white port-and-tonic-water sluicer that hydrates any trip up the Douro valley? Indeed, all the tawnies, and aussies are great aperatifs (as well as the sherries, of course) , served with some warm toasted almonds as nibbles. You'll also find a small but select band of spirits in here, too. |

Old Grand-Dad 100 50% proof - USA
Winery:
Old Grand-Dad speaks loud & proud about thet rue values & taste of Bourbon whiskey. An iconic brand it remains true to its label of 'straight' Bourbon. If diluted with a mixer, although not a crime, should result in a caution. To sum it up Old Grand-Dad is not one for the feint hearted.

Elysium Black Muscat 2005, Quady 1/2bts - USA
Winery:
a rose-like aroma and litchi like flavor. This rose-like aroma led us to name the wine Elysium, Greek for heaven. Drinking this, you can almost feel you have fallen into a rose garden and been transported to heaven.
Elysium is used to either accompany or replace dessert. It is wonderful with blue cheeses, with desserts containing red fruits (such as Summer Pudding, an English favorite), with vanilla, with dark chocolate, with ice cream desserts, and candlelight. One favorite is to pour the wine onto vanilla ice cream.
