Port Wisdom

My sister is too funny. She is traveling in Portugal, so she decided to share with me a piece of wisdom she just learned about port.

“You cannot leave a bottle of port open for longer than two weeks,” she communicated to me gravely.

I laughed so hard I almost choked. Port is the only alcohol I like and imagining me sitting over a bottle without finishing it for two whole weeks is hilarious.

This reminded me of our neighborhood butcher who tried to explain to me how to freeze sausages to prevent them from spoiling.

    I have kept port open longer than that without ill effect. But not all ports can tolerate it.

      The real question is how can you tolerate having it just stand there. 🙂
