I have several bottles of Port in my cupboard, different types. Some Vintage Character, 10 Year Tawny, 1997 LBV, Ruby, etc. I am sure they are over-the-hill, as they have been up there for 2 or 3 years. Are they still okay to...

stuff :-) I also quite like the Porto Rocha 150th Anniversary tawny port; it’s about $65. Are you looking specifically for port? Interesting alternatives to port would be a good icewine or tokaji aszu.

which includes: Taylor-Fladgate, Fonseca, Graham’s, and Quinta do Noval (only the Nacional bottling which is almost considered in a class by itself). Second tier includes: Dow, burn, Warre’s and interchangably quite a...

than most 20’s, combining — in a sense — the best of both worlds. I’m not a big fan of the Sandeman; I find it a little too hot and spirity. The Barros and Noval are very similar, very complex. When it...

Well if you want to stay near the port and do Cuban food there is a Bongo’s Cuban Cafe. It’s located at the American Airlines Arena and overlooks the Port of Miami. Owned by Gloria Estefan etc etc. I have not been...

Grrrr...this is the first borderline slimey thing I’ve seen in a K&L promotion, a wine store that usually rises above this sort of thing. The 1963 Quinta do Noval port offered by K&L is NOT the same as the fabled 100-point...

While searching for something else, I came across a helluva deal on the 1997 Quinta do Tedo Vintage Port at Weimax in Burlingame. It’s marked down to $20. Here’s the link, http://www.weimax.com/portugue1.htm#QUINTA%20...

It’s the Quinta do Estanho L.B.V. I’ve never had a Late-Bottled Vintage, hence my confusion. Thanks for the detailed responses. Fortunately, it looks like a cold and rainy week ahead, which makes for great port...

Hi I have a friend just getting into Port and i wanted to get her a nice bottle of it this year for christmas. She likes Tawny ports, any good recs in that price range? I enjoy Port but am no afficianado and would like to learn...

That’s exactly where port does it’s maturing, in the bottle! A good vintage (not tawny) port is nearly undrinkable when young due to the tannins. But given 10-20 years in the bottle and they soften into heavenly...
