I love Tawny Port! It’s probably because I love nuts and the more aged the Tawny, the more those nutty flavors. For my birthday, I received a bottle of Borges Roncao 20 year Tawny. That was 1 month ago and the Port.. well, it’s GONE!  Light in color, this wine was definitely not light in flavor. There was intense dried fruit characteristics with nice honey like overtones and that nuttiness I mentioned. The sweetness was balanced and the wine had a full and smooth finish that lingered for quite some time. I realize now that the age does matter on a Tawny and while a 20 year old costs more than the younger Tawnys, they are worth it. Seek out this wine and see what you think. Cost approx: $55

Zita Keeley’s Wine School now at the Melting Pot – Hoboken

Well, Happy New Year everyone! Hopefully, you had a happy holiday time and are ready for this brand new year.
It’s starting off rather cold here in New Jersey and, in the past, I’ve had my trips down to Florida at this time of year. But, this time I have to tough it out. That is..until February when I am off on a cruise with some fellow wine loving friends.

Until then, it is time to get moving ahead for a great year. Starting with my Winter Wine Dinner at the Melting Pot in Hoboken on Tue January 12th. If you can make it.. we’ll have a great time. But.. you need to call and make your reservation to confirm a place. Contact Hope Webb at 201-222-1440.

We’ll be tasting 4 wines that are being paired with 4 dishes including.. a cheese fondue, salad, main course fondue and chocolate fondue. You won’t leave hungry. I’ll be talking a bit about my wine classes that will be starting up again in March. It will be the 6 week..one night a week… wine appreciation course for all those interested.

Finally, I’ll also be working on the tv show so keep posted for more information on that.

Enjoy this first Monday of the New Year!
Cheers,
The Wining Woman
