For The Love Of Port

That murderer's row sounds awesome; has lots of my favorite flavors. I wonder how well they'd all work together, but it sounds great!

The Clover Club in Brooklyn does a fantastic drink called The Port of Call. I don't have the recipe handy, but as best as I can remember: 2 ounces gin 1 ounce ruby port 3/4 ounce lemon juice 3/4 ounce cinnamon syrup 1/2 cranberry preserves Shake it all, serve in a rocks glass over crushed ice and ga...

We here in the FTLOP forum know that there are a lot of really fanatic Port Wine friends out there (and we see them every morning when we look in the mirror). The Port Wine Institute and the shippers should create something like "Port Wine Ambassadors" (which would be people like us - fan...

Really interesting article. I'm just getting started in this hobby and it's nice to know it's a relatively affordable hobby to play with. I'll probably never build a mighty cellar with hundreds of bottles dating back decades, moving every three years makes that highly unlikely, but I'm excited that ...

Thanks for all the suggestions; that gives me a good range of choices. I'm actually deployed to Afghanistan right now so I won't be able to pick anything up until the summer, but it gives me something to look forward to when I get home.

Thanks again!

I really don't want to go over 100 USD on this purchase because I don't think I have developed enough of a palate yet. I'm looking for suggestions on a bottle to try that will really highlight why I'd want to go fo...

Funny, I was just getting ready to post a similar question. I am going to be moving to Germany this summer and was wondering if I should try and buy a decent supply of Port to take with me or if I should just buy it there. Anyone have any experience shopping for Port in Berlin?

Thanks for the warm welcome and the suggestions! You know you're in a good place when on your first post you get an invitation to someone's home for some fine port! I'm going to try and take you up on the offer. I'll check out Macarthurs and Schneiders and see what they've got; I'm thinking I'll pro...

I'm just getting into port, really enjoying it, and was hoping someone here might be able to point me in the direction of a good shop in my area. Downtown DC or Northern Virginia are both convenient and would love to know if anyone has any go to spots. I've only purchased one bottle so far, a 2007 L...
