You might think port can only be served with dessert, but this fortified wine from Portugal is about more than its sweet, save-for-after-dinner reputation.
“During my trip to Porto last year, I fell in love with white Port – specifically Fonseca Siroco White Port,” says Chasity Cooper, writer, and wine culture expert. “I like it because it is sophisticated, crisp, and refreshing, yet has a delicate, sweet nuttiness that is approachable and fun. More than anything, I was captivated by its ability to pair with a variety of dishes.” Cooper says this port has crisp acidity, with notes of white peach, dehydrated Meyer lemon, grapefruit brulée, chopped almond, and hazelnut.
