Nice article; would love to gey a few---but hard to find in the USA (just the 10 and 20 and both on West Coast)...the links to 67wine and Morrell at the bottom of the article are nice--but neither has these in stock.
Any Port in a storm!

I bought one of the 40 year old Kopke White Tawnys when I was at their tasting room in Gaia. It was fabulous and worth the effort of lugging home.

I've had a couple of their white Ports, and in fact just opened a 30-yr old last night. Wonderful Ports! A tad more expensive than tawnies, but I'm guessing that's due to their rarity.

Now that I think about it, a 10 or 20 year old would be perfect with Thanksgiving.

I remember when one could almost never find an older white Port. Times are a changing...for the better [cheers.gif]
