port

[weewillee]

About 20 yrs. ago i was given 2 bottles of wine as a gift,1 port and 1 sherry. I think they were aged by a process called Salerno, were half the barrel [vat?] was racked and the new wine added each year to the same barrel. Never more than half racked each year, resulting in a very smooth, full body wine. I think it was from a Ca. winery [Paul Mason?] but can not locate anything similar to this. I'm going to Germany for the holidays and would like to bring something from the states to share, even though this process probably originated from Europe, maybe Italy? This is my first time on the site and hope this is where I go to for help. Thank you, Bill.
