Mystery bottle of old port
Yes it’s a Tawny that’s blended from old ports. They can ‘legally’ only occur in 10, 20, 30-, and 40- yr old versions in order of price and presumably quality. Once they are bottled they won’t really...

Port Suggestions?
step down in price. The more affordable mid-priced ports marked "10 year", "20 year"... are actually blended to taste like it’s ten years old, twenty years old, etc. These will not further improve with age, but will keep...

Which one of these Port Wines is sweetest and cheapest?

Port Cocktails

Jonsey Port: What's the diff. b/w $10 port (93pts) and $50/$100 port?
Points are irrelevant, but if you are going to open a bottle of "Port" from Australia and use it solely to spoon it over chocolate, SAVE THE $40/$90 and buy the $10 bottle. If it’s going to take you a year to get through a...

Port and Chocolate Tasting
Port and chocolate can be rather lovely...especially if nuts are involved. I’d also include cocoa-dusted almonds. For this tasting, I’d stick with developed Ports with some depth. As far as a tawny, it takes 20 years...

Cooking with Port vs. Madeira
Do you have a Tawny or Ruby Port on hand? Tawny would be fine, not as much citrus a Madeira but a good stand in as is is also nutty but Ruby port is so different that it would indeed change the dish.
