For The Love Of Port

Doesn't really matter to me, my cellar is pitch black except for the few minutes I might be in there.

I had to search for it but this is the link.

Ok, well back to Roy's original question. Apparently I have not tried a white port, what I tried was a white port tawny. Any suggestions for a good white port?

Yes!

I am more confused than ever, so you are saying it can be a white port and a tawny at the same time?

I was just a little surprised at how much like a tawny port it taste, but then I have only had 1 white port, a Casa de Santa Eufemia 30 Year. Personally I like the ruby ports better than the whites if this one is any indication.

I haven't opened mine yet but Roy has tasting notes on it in the database.

I already had 4 but decided to buy 4 more yesterday before it went away.

Not in the US, no. My understanding is that they're preparing to ship them (from Portugal to L.A.) right now, or possibly just recently shipped them. EU people have theirs already because they didn't have to wait for the final labels/packaging. It was 101 degrees here yesterday in Middle Ga, I hope...

You're right, I just thought it interesting that Madeira was mentioned at all. It is not really on most people's radar.

Interesting article in Wine Enthusiast magazine.

Are you waiting for health reasons or just so you can taste what you're drinking.

Picked up: 3 - 2003 Dows VP, $54 ea 1 - Grahams 20 yr tawny, $35. Regret not getting a couple more of the tawneys. Did NOT pick up a Taylor 30 yr old tawny for $92.......Seems like a screaming buy. I have never had the pleasure of trying any 30 yr old tawny, but it's still $92. [cheers.gif] Oh wow,...

It is back today, May 10

I just finished out that second case with 3 bottles of the 2002 Rio Bom Reserva.
