For The Love Of Port

First time ooop north. (My wife’s family are from the Algarve so we rarely venture above Fatima). I will be in PT from July 1-25 this summer. Looking for recommendations for a 2 day stay (could be expanded to 3 or conceivably even 4 days) 3 people: me, wife and 17 year old daughter (so it can’t be a...

I may be there this June... I am trying to finalize plans. If I go, it will be at the end of June. Lisbon, then the Algarve.

I binge watched the Tudors earlier in the summer, it was pretty good.

Right now, I am binge watching Game of Thrones, it's the Hobbit meets the Tudors.

I'm doing one of my favorite things right now. I have my first fire of the season (in the fireplace of course!) and just poured a port (a 20 year old tawny in this case).

I would agree with my friend John M, especially given the audience. They are probably more familiar with rubies and that is probably why I'd start with them. The LBV first in the ruby set, and for the tawnies I'd serve the colheita tawny first then the 30.

For a while I was trying to build up a modest port cellar, but I realized I was becoming more obsessed with buying than drinking and for various other reasons (proper storage concerns, space, finances, etc.), I decided to hold off buying anything other than a couple daily drinkers and drinking down ...

2001 Warre's unfiltered LBV - popped and poured. great port after not having had a ruby in months.

On or about April 30, I had port in "down neck" Newark, NJ with John M. Since then, I've ordered port probably twice. It been a miss. the waiters and bartenders just aren't educated on the subject, and therefore I assume neither are their clientele.
