Anyone into Port? I am learning and sampling but I havent found too much I dont like. Anyone familiar with the more recent vintages...Seems like alot of companies offer something not very aged...

My personal Favorite is a nice 15 year old Taylor with a Dark cigar and a filet medium rare....

I have a few bottles og Bullers and Son Tawny Port. It's very woody and i have found pairs really well with a large variety of cigars.

You have pegged my curiosity meter...How do you make your own port?

I like Grahams and i tend to drink LBV. The Grahams LBV 1998 is a great drink imo.

I find that Fonseca and '97 Boli PCs make a very complimentary pair.

No. I love it - always a treat. And I've tried lots of ports, well not that much, but a few. I would suggest only getting very recent LBVs as they are ready to drinkwhen bottled and don't improve with age as much as regular vintage ports. I know 2000 was a great recent vintage, but haven't really kept up with the latest.

Absolutely.
Quite a few threads on this as a matter of fact.

I love Tawnys, specially the older ones like a 20 or 30 yr.
Really enjoy Grahams Six Grapes and Fladgate LBV also.

IMO, Tawny ports pair very well with a lot of cigars. I'll second the boli pairing.

Love it. If you like the Taylor Flagdate Tawny you might try the Stevenson Tawny, very good.

Lately, I have enjoyed the Delaforce 10 year tawny with a good ol' Nestor Reserve.

Oh yeah...
I have a bottle of Sandemann 20yo Tawny sitting in the liquor cabinet at the

and port all around with the "boys"!

Thumbs up Re: Anyone like to pair Port with a fine cigar and a nice meal?
I have been drinking a lot of 1970 Fonseca's, 1963 Croft's, and 1963 Dow- all bang up port that goes great with any cigar. Not much for LBV's. Tawny's are pretty good, must be at least 10 year, prefer 20; Taylor and Dow are my favorites.

Had a 70 Fonseca and 83 Cockburn's last weekend (one bottle each day); can't get enough port!!!!
