After Dinner Beverages

Finish your meal with a carefully selected beverage. The beverages chosen can stand alone as a great finish to your meal or can complement a dessert, fruit platter or a cheese course/platter. There are many to choose from, but we have selected a few of our favorites. Drink responsibly and enjoy!

The beverages selected often taste their best when served at the appropriate temperatures. The ports along with the Les Clos de Paulilles Banyuls Rimage should be served at cave temperature, which is 58 degrees; the others should be served at about 48 degrees. If serving at 48 degrees, don’t bother with a thermometer, take it out of the fridge to let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes, and then it should be about right. If served too cold, they won’t have much flavor. Port can be served at room temperature and will hold its flavor.
