We don't entertain at home every often. Few of our friends live in
Brooklyn, and traveling between boroughs feels like visiting a
different city, so most of the time we tend to meet at some central
point in Manhattan. But every once in a while someone will brave the train
ride and venture out to our neighborhood. Thankfully, there are some
interesting reasons to come and visit. Some friends wanted to try
Franny's, so we agreed to meet up with them. We enjoyed some great
pizza, some good Italian wine, and some good conversation, and we didn't
want the evening to end, so we headed back to our apartment to visit
for a while longer.
We were all stuffed from a great dinner, so the idea of breaking open a
bottle of wine to share seemed a bit much. But thankfully, we had the
perfect option for an after dinner drink: port. Sweet, but not to
sickly, with rich flavors that encouraged casual sipping, and just
enough alcohol to encourage those entertaining evening conversations.
We don't keep a stockpile of bottles around for those "just in case"
situations but if we had to,make a recommendation for those situations,
we'd say keep a bottle of port around.
