One of my favorite bloggers is Kirsten Georgi, whose blog is called The Flask Half Full. In fact, if we were neighbors I think we’d be best friends. She travels globally, loves photography and great food, and also loves wine. It’s like my own bio! She’s also extremely funny.
As a professional sommelier (something I’m definitely not) I “met” Kirsten from her previous blog, which was wine-related. When covid hit, her life changed. As she writes: “ Right as the world was emerging from Covid, my husband and I retired early and decided that instead of taking up golf, we’d travel. Not full time, but as much as we could afford, and as much our good health would allow us to do.”
And that’s what her blog is all about now, accompanied by gorgeous photos and hysterically funny accounts of her travels with her husband, and sometimes friends and family.
Wine isn’t the only thing written about by Kirsten. In fact, I found out about white port in this post. I couldn’t find the Graham’s Blend No 5 she highlighted, but I was able to get this Graham’s. All I needed was tonic.
The Flask Half Full is also educational. I love both tawny and ruby port, plus now the white variety, but did you know there is a rosé port as well?!
Porto Tonic
Or, White port and tonic cocktail
2 parts White port
4 parts tonic water
Slice of orange, lemon, blood orange
The white port has a yellowish tint to it, actually. Or, at least this one does!
The ratio seems perfect.
