The Port Wine Thread

I been drinking port for a few month's now and have something to confess. I have been driking the cheap ones you can buy at walmart, and ABC. i like it though so i guess thats all that matters. One of the brands is Taylor (but i dont think it's the same Taylor as referred to here) and the other is Fairbanks.

Taylor USA and Fairbanks, you're a high roller

Everything OK? Do we need a fundraiser for you? Just kidding. My girlfriend's mom drinks that "Taylor".

My tip is to buy port from Portugal.

The wife & I have taken to drinking tawny ports, but usually the $20 & under variety: Fonseca, Warre's, Sandeman, and a few that she picks up on occasion from either Australia or somewhere in Africa (I think.) I guess they're like the Bud Light of portdom, but we like it!

One of the local places here had a sale on Warre's Otima 10yr Tawny so I picked up 20 bottles.

It can cellar for around 20 yrs not that it will last that long

Warre Otima is a good port. If you like bottle aged tawny, look for their Nimrod bottles. They are no longer being made and quite good.

I would not cellar any tawny or Colheita that long. Both are meant to be drunk right after bottling. I would not go more than 4 years after bottling date. The freshness and vibrancy fades in the bottle.
