Matthew's Journal

I'd like to take a minute to tell all my readers (assuming that I have any) about a wonderful port wine that I've discovered. Hardy's Whiskers Blake Tawny Port comes from Australia. I can't say enough good things about it. It's soft and sweet. It has hints of golden raisins, walnuts, fine red wine... you know what? I'm not a sommelier or a wine critic. I'll leave the tasting notes up to someone who knows what they're talking about. All I know is that this stuff is exquisite. Wine Spectator gave this a 94. That's an incredible rating for a bottle that only costs $13.99 at the Total Wine here in Raleigh. This stuff is a bargain. If you like port or are looking for one to try, buy a bottle or two of this stuff and find some friends to share it with. You should be able to fine it at Total Wine or most any seller of nicer wines.
