Quinta do Portal Extra Dry White Port 2000

Offley (Sogrape Vinhos) Branco Port 2006

Dry Port? Is it a tale? Every friend of mine who visited Porto, Portugal, was overwhelmed by the beautiful city and the river valley beneath. Nobody could avoid the port cellars on the left river bank. This is the place, where most of the tourists meet the chilled dry white prot, which is served in the beginning (or at the end) of port wine tasting. The wine is not exported in large quantities, as the portugese themselves like it much too much, so they drink most of it at home. The wine makes a beautiful apero, if you can handle 20 percentage of alcohol in the beginning of your meal.
