Churchill's White Porto Dry Aperitif ($18). Within its niche, this is an astonishing wine. White ports are generally a stepchild in Oporto, Portugal, but Churchill's is one of the jewels of its line. It's not exactly dry, though it is drier than most ports - call it lightly sweet. What distinguishes it are the strong, gripping flavors of almonds, orange and caramel. It would be perfect to serve after a Thanksgiving feast along with a lightly sweet, nut-based dessert - maybe a not-too-sweet pecan pie or roasted chestnuts. Or before the meal as an aperitif. Serve cool but not cold. And if you're looking for a holiday gift under $20, this fits the bill.
