Why this book?
Ruud wants to change the way people think about port wines. Port can be so much fun. It's a drink that has it all. Telling stories behind every bottle, from producers that have been around since the 16th century, but also being able to be super hip and fun to play around with, creating the best cocktails in the world. Whether it's a classic recipe or something brand new, port wine will take you on a discovery of wines and flavours like never before.
"I want to bring port wine back into the homes of everybody, making it an easy way of creating tasty cocktail and discover the world of (port) wines!" - Ruud Scholten
