Unfortunately, in a few weeks I'll be overseas and not able to have any type of alcoholic beverage for several months. In the meantime, I'm be trying the Hutchenson colheitas I've recently obtained at auction as soon as they get shipped.

Huh......I'm going to have to revisit the '03 Taylor LBV as I was not all that impressed tasting it last week. It seemed like a really basic ruby fruit bomb to me????

My house Ports this winter are:
Smith Woodhouse 20 yr
'95 Smith Woodhouse LBV
'85 Graham's VP that I finally re-stocked up on.

For the past few years, my 'house' ports have been Fonseca Bin 27 ($14) and Yalumba Antique Tawny ($14).

Sadly, it's been a long time since I've bought any port (or even visited the site). I've still got stores of 97-00 LBV's from Quinta do Noval in the cellar, and those are my standby's. They are affordable, tasty, and easily available at Total Wine in quantity. Also a fan of Dow's LBV's from 2000.

If I could only find an affordable Cockburn 20 (along the lines of the recent post of Dow 20 at Costco [shok.gif] ) I'd be all over that.

Agree Mike--I could live on Cockburn 20-year, but it is a bit pricey.
