I've never seen any jewish people in the douro to give their blessing to the harvest nor fermenting juice...

I'm not sure if the Jewish have any interest in the port business, but I have not heard of any.

Yes, Kosher Port exists. I know that at least Taylor's has done it in the Past. Probably other companies will have done it as well.

Check out this article. It's what I found on the subject.

So, it does exist! I thought it would be safe to say that it's an English house that would do kosher vs. a Portuguese brand.

I know that Fonseca was talking about doing one too. Not sure if it ever hit the market though.

Thanks Stefano and it was good to see you back here again! Don't be a stranger. :D
