There is a liquor store next door to the grocery store where the Scotch Man does his shopping. I tagged along with him the other night, and we decided to stop by for wine, even though neither of us really needed any more bottles.
One of the three bottles he bought was the Sandeman Porto.
This was the first port either of us had tried. We brought it home that night and researched how it is supposed to be served. We learned that it is a dessert wine, served either chilled or normal red wine temperature, usually with chocolate or some other kind of dessert.
Holy cow they weren’t kidding about this being a dessert wine. It was initially incredibly sweet and then almost immediately bitter right after swallowing. For me, it wasn’t really a wine you can just sit and enjoy while you relax. I’m tempted to give it another chance when we have some chocolate, since that was the suggested pairing.

We offered this bottle for dessert at our Father’s Day
gathering that we hosted at the Scotch Man’s house (thank, babe) on Father's Day, and luckily, both my
Daddy-o and his girlfriend loved it. At least someone did! So the Scotch Man doesn't have to drink it all by himself.
