Those ports aren’t so old; my buddy's coworker's uncle's friend has a bottle that came over on the Mayflower and some of Simon Bolivar's personal cigar collection.



In all seriousness though, port is the drink of drinks, and a fine collection.

WOW!! I like port and that picture is sexy as hell. I'm an amateur, I think the best I have ever tried has been Grahams vintage port, it was 20 years aged, Can you suggest some good cheaper ports? by cheaper I don't mean $500.

Try the Taylor 20 year tawny $35-$40 or if you want a vintage (from a specific date) some of the 83's are dinking nicely now.....like the 83' Cockburn which you should be able to get for around $80 a bottle....it's great and will only get better!

Let us know how it is.........the 20 year tawnys are usually good and easy to find..... forget about the 30 or 40 years... they are not worth the money.....or if you can swing it buy a vintage port and a tawny and taste them side by side .....the difference is astounding.

Wow... way out of my budget. I've had some tawny in the $20 range that I've loved with a Padron Ambassador - but God bless, enjoy that stuff!

newbie question, what is the difference between a port and a tawny port?

cheers!

[ky toker]

I'm not the expert but I love this stuff. So....

To me Port is a heavier, more sweet wine with a kick. Delicious! I bought my first bottle of tawny this weekend and it was quite different. A brownish color & aroma and the flavor had some like a Brandy to it. Freakin' De-lishious! I had an Australian Tawny which cost around $12 and my first bottle of port was a cheap bottle of Taylor for $6. So you can get a good taste while keeping the wallet healthy. Note: that bottle of Taylor doesn't match up to Sandyman's or Fonseca but it is drinkable.

to be blunt and short and to the point tawny is a white port and ruby is a red port. . . there are other kinds of port. feel free to correct me if im wrong in any way . . . i just recently got into port.

i like a port called lagrimas i dont remember the winery name or whatever you call that barros i think? they make another one that tastes like aged raisins were squeezed into the glass . . . i found out thats exactly what it was.
