Port ? - storage, foods to go with it?

[hotwine]

See if the label includes residual sugar (RS) content. That would indicate the level of sweetness you could expect from it.
Also check the alcohol content; if it's more than 15%, it might be a fortified wine (with additional alcohol added before bottling).

In general, a port-style wine is appropriate to accompany dessert... something like cheesecake, ice cream with a sweet berry sauce, chocolate cake, that sort of thing. I like a ruby port (from Portugal) with small chunks of dark chocolate.

The blend you cite suggests a wine from Southern Cal... is that accurate?

For storage after opening, I close it with a VacuVin (loud snikering from others on the board) and stick it in the fridge. It might last 10-14 days that way before turning up its toes.
