Discover the Origin - Port & Cheese Matching Masterclass
Hosted by Fiona Beckett
Port is not just for Christmas, as too many people in the UK seem to believe.
Whether it is served on its own, chilled, as an aperitif, sipped by the fire with some nuts, eaten with a rich chocolate desert or with coffee after a good meal, there is always an opportunity to enjoy a glass of this delicious fortified wine. There are several styles of Port, from fruity, youthful Rubies, to old Tawnies carefully aged in oak barrels for many years, to Vintage Ports still seen by many as “the king of wines”. White Ports range from dry apéritif styles to very sweet.
Discover the Origin is a vibrant campaign to bring awareness to the quality and provenance that the DOC mark brings to products in Europe. It is through this campaign, that we have the opportunity to select one of the best pairings of port and cheese, hosted by one of our leading wine and food matchers Fiona Beckett.
Fiona Beckett is an award-winning food and drink writer, one of the UK’s leading experts on food and drink matching, a contributing editor to Decanter magazine and the author of 20 books on food and wine.
Fiona’s speciality is cheese and at this tasting she will bring all her expertise to entice, surprise, seduce you with her wonderful port and cheese matches.
