A little history….

In 1790 George Sandeman, an ambitious young Scotsman from Perth, founded a wine business in London. With a £300 ($488.34) loan he bought his first wine cellar and started trading in Porto and Sherry from Tom’s Coffee House.

By 1795, he had established an agency in Cadiz, Spain and in 1811 he purchased an aging cellar in V.N. Gaia in Portugal. In the early 1800s Sandeman wines were shipped to countries within Europe, North and South America, Africa, Asia and even as far as New Zealand.

Founders Reserve by Sandeman

Named in honor of the Founder, George Sandeman, this Reserve is one of Sandeman’s greatest Portos selected from the finest lots of each vintage and aged for 5 years.

I am very new to the world of port and am liking it A LOT!  So far I’ve had Fonseca Bin 27 and Fonseca 2003 (Unfiltered). I like the Fonseca a lot, but this one is my favorite so far.

I found it to be VERY SMOOTH with just a touch of alcohol burn on the palate with a medium fruity sweetness.

By all means, it’s a must try!
