  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Any Wine or Port drinkers?

What port would you recommend for someone who likes only chardonnay?
Well, I'm not a wine expert by any stretch of the imagination. But, if you liek chardonnay, I would maybe start with Warres. To me, this is one of the lighter ports, as opposed to say Taylor Fladgate which has a more intense flavor. Another option might be Grahams Six Grapes.

You might want to try a tawny port first. Here are a couple of nice affordable ones
- Graham's 10 year Tawny
- Chateau Reynella Old Cave 12 Year Old Tawny Port
Both around $20

Too funny, as soon as I read the response by JC I thought Tawny as well....nice recommendations by the way. The Aussie Tawnys ROCK. Yalumba makes some serious tawnys...esp. the 50yr old.

This one goes into the "even the blind squirrel finds a nut" category for me. Since I'm fairly new to port I figured Vipe may like what I've recently tried and enjoyed. I'll have to try a Yalumba, thanks for the tip Navydoc!
