Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.

XO Tawny Port – NV; Stone House Vineyard; Spicewood, Texas
Yes! For anyone that’s
familiar with the traditional port making process, this port can be considered
50 years old. The flavors of Eden are quite prevalent in this burnt amber
jewel. Tilt the glass on its side, and you’ll see a slight golden twinkle
on the edges of this precious little gem. The nose up front is loaded
with toffee and oak. Quite enticing! The sights and smells help prime
your taste buds for a wonderfully soft, silky, toasted pecan flavor that is
classic and satisfying with this tawny port. Mellow caramel notes embrace your
taste buds to put that happy sweet smile on your lips. Lovely, isn’t it?
This treat will make any night better and best of all this port will last a while
in the bottle. You’ll definitely have many more sweet dreams ahead with
this one. Enjoy!
