"Port is a fortified wine grown in the wild and mountainous country of the Upper Douro in northern Portugal in an officially demarcated area of approximately 1,000 square miles.... This area stretches from a point some 60 miles due east of Oporto at the mouth of the River Douro and follows the confluence of this river up to the Spanish frontier. It is a wine, red or white, which has had its fermentation arrested at the time of the vintage with Portuguese brandy, or grape alcohol, which is produced from distilled Portuguese wines...."

The first book on Port written by an expert who has spent his lifetime in the trade, Port covers the history, the land, soil, climate and the most detailed account of the productions. Sound advice on selecting, serving and drinking the world's great dessert wines.
