Messias Colheita porto 2007

Say hello to this Port from Messias Colheita, made in Portugal from the 2007 vintage. Port, in case you're wondering, is a fortified sweet wine from Portugal's Douro Valley — a splash of grape spirit stops the fermentation early, keeping it rich, sweet and warming. Portugal is a goldmine of native grapes, from the zippy whites of the green northwest to the muscular reds and legendary Ports of the Douro Valley. Save it for dessert: think chocolate, blue cheese, or just a quiet glass after dinner. Serve it lightly chilled, in small glasses.
