Tasting - Pear Dessert Wine with Cheese Plate

 

This pear wine from Horton Vineyards in Gordonsville, VA was rich and pungent. This fortified dessert wine is made in a port style. Very fruit-forward with a warm brandy feel. 

I tasted the wine with salami and sharp cheddar and parmesan. The wine was sweet enough to pair well with the cheeses. Overall the tasting was enjoyable.
