good flavorful cheese course, or a good dessert.

I will tell you that 10 year is as good as 40 year. Equally enjoyable, just different.

true if you're new to ports, not true if you're experienced with them. older ports have a much more intense flavor than newer ones

Ports are dessert wines, very good with 80% dark chocolate, sachertorte, crumble desserts. You can also use it while braising meat or slow cooked.

>Blue cheese
Ah, I know what you mean
>Bleu cheese
I still know what you mean but you come across as either pretentious or retarded.
I’m a member of a social network in my workplace (yes, company wide social networks are a thing) and there’s a middle aged lady on the foodie page who always writes ‘cream’ as ‘creme’. Every single time. It’s irritating because these are not interchangeable terms, so she just comes off as a self-important foodie who doesn’t know what she’s talking about.
Same thing with Americans and ‘bleu’. Don’t be that wanker.

>>20192780
Yes, and we already have a word for ‘bleu’, it’s ‘blue’. So the decision to spell it the French way just makes one out to be a dipshit.

>>20193356
Wankery, it adds wankery.
Hilarious that Americans renamed ‘French fries’ as ‘freedom fries’ when the French didn’t support the invasion of Iraq. Oh yeah you’ll do that, but you’ll call blue cheese ‘Bleu cheese’ and drive on the French side of the road and eat fucking etouffée and shit. You might as well be driving PDY’s and buying bread twice a day while laughing yourself sick at Jerry Lewis movies over onion soup.

Only dummies who believe bigger numbers are always better buy 40 year old tawnies. It's way too much time for port to sit in wood. For less money you can buy a much better mature vintage port. Vintage port is made from better wines and only spends about two years in wood before bottle aging.
