Method

Open the oysters with a knife and collect them in a bowl with their juices.

Clean and dry the shells, then return the oysters to the shells and strain the juices back over them.

Reduce the red wine vinegar, bay leaf, and thyme in a pan until nearly evaporated.

Add port and reduce until a sticky syrup forms.

Add red wine, bring to a boil, remove from heat to cool, and stir in shallots and chives.

Arrange oysters on crushed ice and serve with sauce, lemon, bread, and butter.
