($10). This is wonderful ready-to-drink
stuff at any price. If you're a fan of
tawny ports, this is one you need to buy.
It is certainly sweet, but with enough
body and structure to back it up. Rich
flavors of raisin, ripe plum, and mocha
are balanced with good acidity and orange
citrus. We paired it with an array of
blue cheeses and it was wonderful. (Weekend

($20). A fun and
tasty break from the dry wines (and perfect
for hustling back over to the Cheeses
of New England booth for another nibble
of Westfield
Farm's Classic Blue Log). Smooth and
balanced, with deep raisin, creme brulee,
fig, and toasted caramel and nut flavors.
Lip-smacking finish. Ready to drink now.

(Australia, $11).
Great value on this complicated, spicy
port with a long smooth finish. (Wine
Tasting, 12/99)
($24). This nectar is a pale prune-juice
color. It is medium-full bodied, with
a long, soft, smooth finish (like a Bull
Durham kiss). It hints of nuts, caramel,
prune, and coffee. It is a wonderful dessert
wine. Highly recommended and one of the
greatest bargains I have ever come across.
(Splurge Wine, 12/99)
($12). Sweet and lingering, without being
cloying. A true dessert wine. (Wine Tasting,
12/99)
