Sonoma portworks

We sampled 3 different ports, a petit verdot (fruit bomb), a Norton(raisin, chocolate) , and a 7 year cask reserve (tobacco, leather, cognac, dark berry) . We also tried 2 vinegars, a red and a gold, and 2 desert ports. One was a sherry with hazelnut essence, and the other was a zinfandel chocolate essence port. They also let us try their members only reserve port since we were on our anniversary trip. We decided on the chocolate port and the petit verdot port.

They also had 2 Grappas, a whiskey style wine with a high alcohol content. One was a port barrel aged one that tasted very similar to bourbin, and the other was a Fig style that tasted similar to the cookie. They were both really good, but it's hard to beat the real thing.
