Port wine recommendation

HollywoodQue · 10-27-2010, 03:30 PM

Can someone give me a recommendation for a good, but inexpensive port to go with a Montecristo White Label, or a Bolivar.

Thanks in advance

I enjoy Fonseca 27 with Bolivars, Howard.

That'll work. Also, Cockburn's Special Reserve is about $20 for a 750mL.

Keep in mind . . . like Champagne from elsewhere, if it ain't from Portugal, it ain't port.

Graham's Six Grapes Reserve can usually be had for under $25. Their 20 year used to be under $25, now it is closer to $30.

I like Taylor's LBV, but it will probably run you closer to $30. Worth the $ in my experience.

I prefer tawny ports, and Fonseca is probably my favorite inexpensive variety, usually around $15/bottle.
