Copenhagen is experiencing the longest sequence of cloudy weather in 60 years, so it must be time for comfort wine. I always love to drink seasonal and that combined with Christmas where most of us eat a lot of sweet stuff, makes a perfect opportunity to do a small miniserie of the sweet and fortified wines that I cherish the most. In 1826 a young Danish Johann Heinrich Andrésen migrated to Porto and founded a winery. Johann came from a small island Før (Föhr in German) that was lost to our German neighbors in 1864 during the worst military defeat this country has ever experienced. It could be compared to the defeat Napoleon experienced in Moscow. Nearly 10.000 frozen men were slaughtered under the cloudy winter sky. The Andresen winery still carries his Danish surname, although it is now entirely owned by the all Portuguese dos Santos family. And since the old Solero systems theoretically still contain wine from the previous owner, they are not allowed to change the name of the winery.
