port port port
Everyone talks about port so when I was at Giant Eagle last night I looked around a bit and found a bottle of port. I'm sure it's not the greatest, but since I have never even tasted a port before I dont know that it will matter...It was $5.50 (the second cheapest right behind the $4.99 bottle) Let me know what I could expect from this bottle after a good meal with a "fine" cigar. I drink dry red's a lot now though I know this is way different I wanted to give it a try.

Better read the bottle again, make sure it says "Port" and not "Pork".

Re: port port port
Who knows until you try.....one man's pork juice is another man's port. And if you don't, you're only out a few bucks. Let us know.

Re: port port port
I've had the Taylor port before.

It's not bad for the price point, and in "restaurant pricing world" a glass is normally 4$

Nothing special, but not a bad little port to have after a low end meal.

Re: port port port
I used some to poach pears in several months ago, had half a bottle left and went ahead and drank it.

It wasn't bad and for the price, who can complain?

Re: port port port
The only port i've ever had is Sandeman. You get it real cheap over here in S. Korea, and damn if it isnt a fine drink! Cheack it out, it cant go for more than $20 in the states.

Re: port port port
The best cheap Tawny is Taylor 10, the next steps up is either Taylor or Dow 20; each has a unique taste.

Re: port port port
Those who know far more than I, recommended: Hardys NV Tawny Port South Eastern Australia "Whiskers Blake". Got mine via the internet...$10.95.

I tried the Taylor's first myself, and found the Hardy's to be MUCH better. Though, I found that Port is just not for me.

G/L and enjoy!

Aussie Port is way to sugary, syrupy for me. Portugal is to port as Cuba is to cigars, but even more so.
