Aged Cell Door Tawny Port $18.50
We have named this Port after the cell Door from the old Pemberton jail (long ago demolished) which we have now installed at Hidden River. It has a few interesting notations on it, no doubt made in hindsight, the sort of gems that come to mind after some sober hours of enforced contemplation or possibly after a few glasses of this good port! Made in a soft fruity style and VERY smooth, it's great for a little late night contemplation or just sipping, sitting quietly watching the ducks graze after a Hidden River lunch.
The Muskateer $18.00
This blend of Muscat plus another special but secret "ancient" wine should be enjoyed with good friends, cheese or one of Sandy's Icky Sticky Date Puddings. After one tipple, you feel like another, but remember, moderation in all things.
Love to live and live to love!! YUM!! All for one and one for all!!
