In recent times, probably my own favorite pairing has been a powerful young Reserve Ruby with char-grilled Baby Back Ribs and BBQ sauce. Love that tangy pairing. The mild sweetness of the sauce interplays with the Port beautifully and the pork is the near-perfect foil.

Sounds like a great pair Roy. Could you give a couple of example of relevante ruby ports (brands)?

Andreas, have a look at the thread we are in the midst of that discusses the Reseve Ruby category, here:

I remembered on other amazing pairing I had some years back, it was a fantastic goose liver pate with Port. Delicious and our host served it with a German Trockenbeerenauslesen and also a Croft "Distinction" back then. I loved both nips of wine with it.
