Toast to the Holiday Season With Port

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - October 01, 2015) - Revered since the late 1600s, Port wines are highly collectible and feature a wide spectrum of styles and price points. In addition to their rich history, the leading Port houses of Taylor Fladgate, Fonseca and Croft, imported to the U.S. by Kobrand Corporation, boast a range of the finest Ports that make great gifts for both the wine connoisseur and beginner alike. These fortified wines from Portugal's Douro Valley are also perfect for sharing with loved ones this holiday season.

"The holidays are all about friends, family, and sharing great moments together. Port wines are the perfect addition with their elegance and rich array of flavors that add to the festive spirit," says Adrian Bridge, CEO of The Fladgate Partnership, a family-owned company established in 1692, that has owned Taylor Fladgate and Fonseca for generations.

A Vintage Port is made from a blend of wines from a producer's finest plots and is only declared in exceptional years -- usually no more than three times per decade. Established fans of Port and wine collectors will appreciate declared Vintage selections including:

• Taylor Fladgate 1994 and Fonseca 1994 Vintage Port ($400) - Both Taylor Fladgate and Fonseca 1994 Vintage Port were awarded Wines of the Year in 1997 by Wine Spectator, each scoring a perfect 100 points.
