Re: What is the best Port to pair with steak?

In 2017, whilst doing a comparison of all twenty of my 2011 vintage ports (using Coravin), I noticed that the Sandeman’s had the incredible aroma of a Bordeaux on steroids and the taste didn’t disappoint either. Therefore, shortly afterwards I paired it with a featherblade steak and a few months later with a fillet. Both times, it went down a treat.
One big problem with drinking port with steak is the volume required doesn’t change compared to normal reds, so the amount of alcohol consumed is a great deal more. Thus, driving isn’t an option afterwards.
