WASHINGTON -- Last week’s snowstorm gave a new meaning to the old adage, “Any port in a storm.” Well, not exactly a port of call. More like a port wine.
During the storm, I smartly hunkered down and took advantage of tasting through a backlog of wine samples that had been piling up in my tasting queue faster than the snow on my deck. Of course, given the cold, snowy days — and nights — the port wines somehow made it up to the front of the line, where they proved to be worthy indoor companions for the conditions outside. After all, port, that delicious elixir from Portugal, has warmed countless souls for centuries.
