You may address me as “All Mighty Port Connoisseur” — I heart port, especially tawnys. Shawn, if you need some coaching let me know. Although I don’t know if I should publicly pronounce “oh yeah, I drink ALL the time…”. Hm.

Delmonico sounds incredible. I’ll make sure that I check it out the next time I’m in NOLA or Vegas. I’ve *almost* went a couple times in the past but your review has tilted me in the direction of must go. Yummy!

And, now I have to go looking for some tawny port. I’ve actually never heard of it before.

(I’m SOOOOO green when it comes to wine. I just try not to embarrass myself when pronouncing things like Pinot Noir, and such the like…)

See, that’s what so great about tawny port. It is darker and has a more caramel, nutty flavor from age. Awesome. It doesn’t have that knock you out from sweetness thing that a lot of ports do.

See, I’m just way too uncultured. My usual culinary decisions are, “Nuggets or Cheeseburgers.” When McDonald’s got chipotle snack wraps, it seemed like high class grub to me.

That said, Port makes my head swimmy way too fast. And it’s always so darn sweet. I need like, diet port or something.

lol… diet port.
