EXCELLENT CHOICE!
Port is very tasty and distinguished. I enjoy it so much more than hard liquor. Let us know how you like the Sandeman (for $16 or so, it can't be beat). After that, you can always try the aged tawny Ports. Taylor Fladgate really excels in that area.I saw those wanted to see how I liked it before shelling out the big bucks lol. It was tasty and went with a cigar great thx a lot!! (You can't tell my sarcasm for pushing me down another slope thru text I'm sure lol)EXCELLENT CHOICE!

So, you're liking the port eh?
Back up Matt nothing to see here
The good news is...well, there really is no good news!
Check out this site another member pointed me to: http://www.fortheloveofport.com .
Hey ZG - what do you recommend for a less spendy Port?It's definitely a spendy, special occasion Port -- the kind that pi$$es the wife off when you bring it home!
Where'd you get that Glenora? I'm always up for something different...
I have never had good luck with less expensive Ports.
Try the Sandeman Tawny Porto above. It's really good for only $16. Nice mouthfeel and finish, with notes of dried fruit. Really makes the cigar flavors pop. If that doesn't do it for you, go for the 10-year aged tawny from Taylor Fladgate. At about $33-35, it's a bit pricey for a daily drinker (at least on my budget). But it has amazing flavor and a loooong finish:

Thanks brother. With how little I drink, the $35 bottle will be fine and probably last me a lifetime lol. Ten drinks at $3.50 isn't bad when you consider the price of the stick I'll be pairing it with lol... Sigh.
Thanks again.

Smoke it if ya got it!
Its amazing how some age can really bring out the flavor in a drink. One of my favorite things to do when I drank was to work on different parings to see what matched up well. I had a few wines here and there but mostly odd label craft beers and single malt scotches. It can really bring out the flavor in a stick and it was fun.
Haha! Just a bottle of wine not port and shared it with my wife.Whoa!
Well, I'm going to have to put off my opening of the Taylor Fladgate 30-year for at least a few more days...My buddy canceled again tonight, saying he's finally got some positive dialogue going with the wife. Hopefully he gets somewhere with her, because I can't hold off much longer. Must...resist...opening!
Must...resist...opening!
Not yet. The waiting is killing me!
LOL - sure I will! But it won't do justice to the many reviews already out there on Port websites. They all gave it stellar ratings. I've waited this long, what's another week?It's starting to get to me too. You are going to give us a review, aren't you?
FINALLY! My friend clandestinely stopped by last night on his way home from a meeting. The seal was broken on the 30-year tawny. Verdict: absolutely STELLAR! Mouthfeel is incredibly full and rich, with dried fruit, molasses and cherry aplenty. The finish is incredibly long...about a full minute. Absolutely fabulous and well worth the painful wait.
Enjoying another glass right now with an Anejo 46. Superb pairing!
