Vintage Port is my Favorite

I'm a HUGE fan of wine, and red wine in particular. I generally drink Cab, Syrah and Petite Sirah. But as far as my favorite sweet red wine goes, it's definitely vintage port!

I recently had a 2003 Cockburn's vintage port and it was delicious. It wasn't as sweet as I expected, but still definitely sweet. And it had a nice fleshy and silky texture that made the sweetness even better.

As I write this, Winter is getting close so I will definitely be grabbing some more port. I've found it's the perfect end to a good meal too as a dessert wine.
