Regular tawny port from most of the major houses is often a treat with Stilton cheese and sourdough toast points. And when the cheese is all gone, I have no problem pairing an old tawny with dark chocolate.
Wine of the Week: Nonvintage Warre’s King’s Tawny, Oporto ($13) -- There are better tawnies on the market, but they run $20 or more. This lighter-styled wine has a faint hint of black pepper alongside plums, blackberry, and an uncomplicated sweet finish.
