Port Wines at Cafe Madrid
Dallas Chapter - Women for WineSense
Port Wine, it's not just for dessert
Traditionally, port wine is served with cheese such as Stilton, blue cheeses and Cheddars as well as desserts made with chocolate, nuts, and even with cigars. What many do not know is that sweet fortified wines such as port can also be served with savory foods.
We’re going to be untraditional in November and pair port with savory food. We’ll toss in a few sweet items, too, so we can compare and contrast the savory and sweet flavors and pairings.
Join us Tuesday, 11 November for an untraditional port pairing.
Location: Café Madrid, 4501 Travis St, Dallas, TX, 75205
Members: $45.00 per person
