Stoney Mesa Winery’s Port

From Stoney Mesa Winery and Ptarmigan Vineyards in Cedaredge, Colorado comes a wonderful young but rich port at $15.99/bottle.

The 2003 Ptarmigan Vineyards Merlot Port has plenty of chocolate and cherry on the palate with hints of licorice and spice.

And speaking of chocolate, this port is wonderful with rich chocolate desserts but would certainly stand alone with maybe a little cheese or a simple cookie. It is sure to be a big hit with company after a fine meal. But, its not just for dessert. Share this port late at night with your favorite person(s) on the back deck or wherever and whenever the mood presents itself.

I’ve enjoyed this port slightly chilled at Lake Powell in the middle of the afternoon while drifting in the shade of a canyon wall and munching chocolate cookies.

Stoney Mesa Winery and Ptarmigan Vineyards is located at 16199 Happy Hollow Road, Cedaredge, Colorado 81413, just off Colorado Highway 65 in Cedaredge. They have daily tastings between 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. On the premises is a gazebo which is great for a picnic lunch and a bottle of wine with friends.
