Or look for Broadbent's Auction Reserve which is made by Niepoort. Niepoort is one of the finest brands around, yet is not readily available in USA on their own name. Mostly Europe. 6 Grapes is nothing to lose sleep over.

I've never had an expensive port (over $25) that hasn't been worth the money but there are many less expensive ports ($15 - 25) that are enjoyable also. I remember a fishing trip one January a few years back when the temperatures actually dropped into the 30's in Louisiana. As we were headed back to the dock one of the guys pulled out a hip flask filled with "gasp" Benjamin's. It tasted good in that situation. (Our guide, who did not participate in the Benjamins tasting as he was driving the boat, passed out shots of Gentleman Jack once we were ashore.)

I currently have a bottle of Dow's LBV 2000 that's open and another that is collecting dust in a dark, cool place.

How is that Gent's Jack? I saw that in the liquor store the other day for the first time.
