My new #fortifiedfriday clip!

#fortifiedfriday - This week I’m tasting a young vintage port from Duorum. The project started in 2007 which makes it a very young project. But behind the project is a team with a long history in wine making. So, let’s pop open this port and see what it’s all about.

#fortifiedfriday - This week I’m tasting a Quevedo colheita port from 1992 (bottled 2009). Colheita is my favorite style of port (if I have to pick one) and I could drink that stuff by the gallons with incredible ease. In Helsinki it’s around -20°C today so that alone is a good reason to enjoy some great fortified wines. Saude!

#fortifiedfriday - Next up Niepoort! You might ask yourself why o why did I choose the basic ruby from all the wines they make. Well, the answer is two fold. First, this is the only port from Niepoort available in the Finnish monopoly selection. Second, you got to start somewhere and I thought a decent ruby would be perfect to jump start things. Don’t worry. I will get to the amazing colheitas later. ;)

#fortifiedfriday - Today we’re tasting a port style fortified wine from South Africa from a producer called Monis. Fortified wine production has been around in South Africa for quite a while so they’re no newbies in the matter. I suggest you find some fortified juice from SA…bru!
