When we tried this new gin and tonic cocktail, I was amazed at the similarities in flavor. Unfortunately, I'm not really a gin drinker so it wasn't my kind of drink.I can see the white port being good in its own right, however.

I love port and I love bourbon, so naturally this drink was a good fit. Still though, I was pretty surprised at the similarities between this and other (good) Manhattan's I've had.

Another amazing port cocktail is the "Bar Drake Manhattan" made with this delicious port. The ingredients: 2.25 oz. Woodford Reserve Bourbon, 1 oz. Fonseca Bin 27 Ruby Port, 1 bar spoon of maple syrup, and a dash of Angostura bitters. Make this now!

I tried this in the "Siroco and Tonic" cocktail and will happily drink this at any hot summertime event! The ingredients includes 1 part Fonseca Siroco White Port, 1 part tonic water, and ice cubes. So refreshing!

Yummy! The new gin and tonic is the white dry port and tonic-- justsqueeze in a bit of fresh lime juice. My new favorite cocktail!

This is all about power and rich fruit. A great depth of flavor, dark and brooding, but also with great sweetness and richness. This is an outstanding powerful wine, which will age.

Plummy on the nose, with the ripe aromas accented by hints of dried flowers. In the mouth, the texture is rich—almost syrupy—and the flavors head toward prune and chocolate fudge, finishing on drier, more complex notes of cocoa powder and spice. Imported by Kobrand.

In the Fonseca tradition, this is a hugely rich wine, very dense. It is not all weight, with excellently integrated firm tannins and a range of complex flavors, from nuts and berry fruits to full frontal ripeness. There is some dryness to finish.

A very sweet rich wine, in the Fonseca house style. But it lacks the intensity, going more for sweet almonds, along with some bitter marmalade, and a young taste. Imported by Kobrand.

Fonseca vintage Ports are always among the most attractive and long-lived. This 2003 conforms magnificently to that model. It is structured, rich, powerful and opulent. There are cassis and black fig flavors, as well as sweet tannins. It is delicious already, and will remain delicious throughout its long life. Imported by Kobrand.
