Vintage Wine and Port

I am almost certain that a rich, unctuous and powerful Cabernet Sauvignon (from your favorite California vigneron) will pair surprising well with Black Forest Cake. Fortified wine would be my other choice (a young Vintage...

It went great, I was just going to wait till I had a moment to collect my thoughts on the subject. THese best part about this group is that everyone in really into experimenting. You'd be amazed by how many different...
