and mixing some white port cocktails.

Just found a bottle of white port that I didn't know I had in my cellar. Any good recipes worth sharing?

ya it's strawberry season here so they're cheap

take a bunch of strawberries juice it,
3 parts white port
1 part tequila
add lime to taste.

or take a peach and soak in it int he white port, when ready to serve, take a dash of brandy and place over.

or the traditional way is to use pears and soak it in white port.

These dishes would be significantly more fun if there was fire involved.

first one is a cocktail, you would crush and strain the strawberry juice in the white port.

last two are desserts that can certainly be with a side of crepes and flambéed

Last night with pan-seared jumbo sea scallops and shrimp, olive tapenade, brie, and roasted almonds:

now you have me thinking a white port crumble with plums, pears or peaches would certainly work.

2007 Marcassin Chardonnay Three Sisters Vineyard
1997 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select-absolutely terrific. Best bottle of wine that I have had in a long time-SG98

Hmm, so I guess I won't be touching my 2009s for a while yet.

Tres picos borsao garnacha 2009. What a reliable bottle of wine!

Listen now, you need to make sure you save one of the 1997 HS's to share with our group. Don't be drinking all of them Seriously, has to be a good wine for you to warrant a 98 point score. Glad it showed well for you.

Well? Don't leave us hanging?

Sant'Elena Ros di Rol: A little Bordeaux-ish on the nose and palate, but a little lean on the fruit giving way for the acidity to stand out a bit too much for me. Served with burgers and a decent match. I believe this is a bit passed prime and if you have any and decide to open, be sure to finish the bottle cause I don't think it will be very giving on night two.

1996 Château Léoville Barton

The best 90' HB I have had yet Board-O. The last one was off a bit I think. Still improving IMO...Not as good as the 89' but a point or 2 behind.

Haut Brion is excellent typically in off years and even better in great years. My favorite 1st growth because of this.

No, although I did tell Allred that I thought the Soave had a riesling profile.

2009 Chateau La Tour Carnet.

I really liked this wine but way over priced from Uncle Pennybags.

1991 Corison Cabernet Sauvignon - Why can't they make 12.8% Abv wines anymore in the Napa Valley. Very Bdx in the flavor and aroma profile.

Curious how you found this wine. I gave up on it after 10 years and sold off all my bottles but always wondered what would happen over the long term.
