RAC / Royal Automobile Club Port

Post by Simon Ware »

Hi - new to the forum so my apologies if this is in the wrong "thread"

We had friends over at the weekend and they had raided their cupboards for something I'd not tried before. We ended up drinking a bottle of RAC Port which seems to have been made/bottled for the Royal Automobile Club on Pall Mall.

Does anyone know if I am able to buy this anywhere, as it was exceptional? I have even tried the RAC Club itself, and they won't deal with non-members

Any tips or knowledge on this would be really useful - I'm hoping to buy a case or two!!

Thanks
Simon

Do you know what kind of port it was - reserve, plain ruby, vintage - and how old?

Hi Simon,
Welcome to :ftlop2014:

I am not familiar with this Port. Can you post a picture of the bottle? That would probably really help us in figuring out what it is and who makes it.
