When doing the selection I am facing two main problems: rate of consumption and brand availability.
Regarding the first problem, you may be aware that people in Mexico in general and in Guadalajara in particular are just starting to experience (and enjoy) port wine and although I, along with my staff try to "educate" our customers and promote the drinking of port (as well as other fortified wines such as Madeira and Sherry) sales are still not that high and sometimes I have to throw away(or drink myself
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
As far as the brand availability unfortunately the only brands easily found here in Guadalajara are: Royal, Taylor, and Ferreira with a type or two of Fonseca and Osborne.
Which types of port do you recommend that we should offer? In the last "carta de vinos" we only had a white and Tawny Royal but they did not satisfy my expectations.
I had thought about including a White Port Ferreira, a Tawny Fonseca, a Taylor LBV and a Madeira (only available is a 10 year Justino) but I am open to suggestions.
Thanks in advance
