N/V Barros 10 yr old Tawny Porto

[wondersofwine]

It sounds like a tawny I would enjoy. I like them with the flavors of nuts and dried fruits but not too sweet. And IK, thank you for helping with a library fundraiser. I went Saturday night to a fundraiser for Cumberland (County) Oratorio Singers (one of the members of my church sings with them--at one time we had about four members in the group). It included a wine auction (silent bids) so I donated six bottles--four reds and two whites. I ended up bringing home two of my own bottles--no one else bid on the Oregon Pinot Noir so I brought it home for $10 and I outbid someone else on the Eric Ross Old Vine Zinfandel. (Most expensive wines at the silent auction were a Dom Perignon Champagne and a 1988 Ridge Monte Bello--both with a minimum bid of $150). We were entertained by four vocal soloists (three sopranos and a bass-baritone) with piano accompaniment, and a trumpeter. I know one of the pianists. It was a high-level of vocal talent. An enjoyable evening. I also won one of four plants raffled off--a huge coleus. After taking up the backseat of my car, I decided I didn't really have room for the plant at home so took it to church and ended up giving it to a church member who was celebrating her 50th birthday.
