Port, in my opinion, is too little used in cocktails. Aside from Sangarees, the Dead Reckoning, and the Last Resort, it’s a relative non-starter. With its rich and flavorful character port is more friendly and warm than red wine and less aloof and dangerous than white wine in mixed drinks.

So, in our last Thursday Drink Night of 2008 we’ll be featuring and mixing drinks with Sandeman Port and using the 10-year and Founder’s Reserve all the while. Also, Ted Emerson, Brand Director for Sandeman, will be available to discuss the product and answer questions

Please join us for a wonderful time and to see what sort of seasonal goodies we can come up with, just in time for your holiday parties!
