The winery’s fascination with fortified wines began back in 1979, and today, their winery is one of the valley’s top must-taste destinations. Prager purposefully produces ports which are drier than most on the market, with meticulous attention paid to the levels of sweetness and acidity. This skillful balance yields multi-dimensional ports with a signature roundness on the palate. The Prager brothers (Peter, Jeff, and John) and brother-in-law Richard, thoroughly enjoy engaging with their visitors to answer the most asked questions such as how are ports different than still wine? What’s the difference between “vintage” and “vintage-style”? What are the best food pairings? They dispel the myth that port is only consumed in winter as an after-dinner aperitif, or as a special treat on Christmas Day. Quite the contrary, the Prager philosophy is to enjoy ports every day of the year, and with all types of cuisine.

Rustic Port Plum Tart

Enjoy this sweet-tart dessert with your family and friends and a glass of Prager Port.

• 1-1/2 pounds plums, sliced
• 1/3 cup plum or apricot preserves
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup sugar, plus 1 tablespoon for topping
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/4 cup Prager Port
• 1/2 (15-oz.) package refrigerated piecrust
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1/3 cup powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F. Unroll the pie crust onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Roll into a 12-inch circle. Set aside.

Mix plums, jam, vanilla extract, sugar, allspice, and Port in a large bowl. Let stand 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

After 30 minutes, drain and reserve the liquid from the plum mixture into a small saucepan, set aside.

Add flour to plums and mix. Mound plums into center of pie crust, leaving a 3-inch border.

Fold pie crust border up and over plums, pleating as you go, leaving about a 5-inch-wide opening in the center. Mix egg and water. Brush pie crust with egg wash, and sprinkle with remaining sugar.

Bake for 45 minutes or until filling is bubbly and crust is golden. Carefully transfer tart (with parchment paper) to a wire rack; cool 20 minutes. While tart is cooling, bring reserved plum liquid to a boil over medium heat. Boil 1 to 2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Let cool slightly. After the tart cools, dust with powdered sugar. Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons hot plum sauce over the fruit in center of the tart. Serve immediately with remaining plum sauce, whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream or maybe you would like all the three?
