Port problem

Six Grapes is great. Lower on the acidic nature, sweet, if you swish it in your mouth, your tongue will tingle, one of my favorites...though I'm new to wine and it's one of the few I enjoy.

Could be a simple matter of "Port is not for you." I happen to like a lot of different ports, including six grapes, but my lovely bride doesn't like port at all, even though we both like very similar red wines (cab, pinot noir, barolo).

I do think it might be worth your while to try a tawny port to see if a little less sweetness does the trick, but in the end, drink what you like and like what you drink.

I think that's going to be my move. I'll try one of the recommended tawnys, assuming I can find them, and if that fails I'll just move on to something else.

The Krogers near us sell port, altho I don't think they stock most of the ones moses identified. You can find Sandeman's Tawny there for about $12, I think--my wife likes that one. I like the Fonseca Tawny, but always get that at Total Wine in Midlothian. They have a big selection, especially in the $15-$25 range.
