Not in my jellies! As I meticulously scan the pages of the internet looking to see who is doing what in the world of wine jellies, I am again disappointed by the lack of creativity when it comes to Port wine jellies. It seems like a no-brainer that Port wine lends itself nicely to making jelly. In general, it is a sweet, dessert type wine and seems like a logical choice for jelly.
While this is true, as is the case in the general world of wines, there are not only different types of Port, but also each Port house has their own, unique style. This was evidenced in a late night challenge to a friend who correctly named the Port house of each glass we put under his nose. I was truly amazed, and now even more amazed that I remember this!
I am not going to get into all the different types of Port or Port producers. I'll add a couple links for that. But I would like to add that when I start making my Port wine jellies, you can feel rest assured that my choices will be creative and interesting, and will look similar to a dessert wine list offered at a nice restaurant.
Here are some links for further reading...
