What is your current House Port?

[Andy Velebil]

Doesn't matter what type of Port it is...what is your current "House Port?"

By House Port I'm referring to whatever you have most likely gotten a good deal on in a decent enough quantity to be your go-to Port at home. Or maybe it's something you buy a bottle of every week at the local store.

There have been a lot of good deals lately, but for a "house Port" I still turn to 20-yr olds. Lately it hasn't been any one in particular... more just whatever I happen to have handy. That was more-or-less started by the Virtual Tasting earlier this year. Next up is a Ramos Pinto!

1983 Smith Woodhouse and 1980 Gould Campbell, both in 375s. Got a good deal and with their small bottle aging, they handle pop-n-pour pretty well. I'm not sure what I'll do when they run out.

Ferreira 10 year tawny. It's a great port and even better with one local retailer selling it $24 a bottle. 10 year D'Oliveira Madeira is house one we drink the most, but this a port thread...

For vintage port it's the 2003 Broadbent. Nice wine and wasn't expensive at all.
For Tawny - Niepoort 20 year old. Also was not expensive on a close out a year ago.

Taylor's LBV for me. It is well priced and it performs pretty well in a pop and our scenario so I have no quarms about opening it on a whim.

[Rune EG]

Grahma's 20 years tawny being sold at a reasonable price (40 % less than the prices at the State Wine Monopoly here in Norway).

Some really nice House Ports.

I've got a few at the moment, two VP's and one tawny for the warmer summer months where a nice chilled tawny hits the spot..

My house port is Croft 2004 LBV in half bottles. One of the UK supermarkets discounted these down to £2.49 per half a few years back and I stocked up. Now nicely mature these are delicious and just as tasty when chilled lightly in the summer.

20 year Ferreira Tawny

You are living in some house!

[Peter W. Meek]

Ferreira 20 here. We generally have a glass or two (or three) after the MNATM (Monday Night At The Movies - our weekly mini-festival here at the house). Some kind of bubbly - usually a Prosecco - with popcorn during the movie, and then sit around with the port, eating pistachios and wasabi almonds while we talk over the movie. Occasionally Eva will set out a big chunk of some kind of blue cheese - Gorgonzola or Stilton, usually - with crackers.

Talk about a strong food item to pair with. Does the wasabi overpower the Port?

Not even close. I find that (tawny) port is pretty good with intensely spiced foods. Maybe not so much blindingly hot capsaicin style foods, but with most spicey foods.
