Fonseca 10 Year Old Aged Tawny Port, Portugal
Fonseca Ten Year Old Tawny Port is russet in color with brilliant crimson highlights and a fragrant, ripe-fruit bouquet. Its smooth, silky texture and subtle oak nuances are balanced by a fresh acidity and tannic "grip" that culminate in a long, elegant, plummy finish. Tawny Ports of age will not improve once bottled; they should be served at room temperature or barely cool at the end of a meal with nuts or not overly-sweet desserts

Sandeman Royal Corregidor Rich Old Oloroso Sherry, Aged 20 Years
Rich and unctuous; a big, muscular, semi-sweet beauty with a meaty frame and gorgeous maple and toffee aromas. Broad-shouldered across the palate, with apricot and quince flavors accented by cinnamon and nutmeg. In terms of mouthfeel, it's like a fine liqueur, and on the finish everything you've previously smelled and/or tasted comes back into perfect focus.
Lustau East India Solera Sherry, Spain
East India is an appealing deep tawny brown, and offers a complex, mature nose of burnt sugar, spices, raisins, chocolate, walnuts and orange peel. It is sweet and full-bodied, with a smooth, almost treacle-like consistency, but good balancing acidity. There is a faint rancio character that adds complexity, and a fresh, everlasting finish.
2000 Warre's Late Bottled Vintage Porto, Portugal
Deep, rich ruby colour. On the nose bursting with lovely black fruit combined with a spicy complexity. Warre's 2000 LBV has a palate of underlying richness and intensity with well rounded blackberry fruit and wonderfully structured tannins which lead to a long and lingering finish. This wine is superb with cheese, nuts and dried fruits after meal.
Messina Hof Ebony Ports of Call, Texas
Ebony, naturally fermented to 16% alcohol, is a solera blend of the last three vintages. The combination of three vintages, each with their own contributive strengths, enhances consistency on the palate. This lower-alcohol port-like dessert wine has wonderful chocolate covered cherry flavors. Silver medal winner and "Best of Class" at the San Antonio Express News Wine Competition.
