My current favorite is the '77 Warres. I've become addicted to it, and it goes well with all my favorite smokes. In particular, aged cohibas particularly enjoy the pairing, particularly the spicier vitolas.other1 said:Lets kick off this forum..
I like to drink Port with a cigar.
My current favorite is Fonseca Guimaraens 1998 vintage.
Anyone else?

Bah. Not to be pretentious*, but the '83 needs another decade or so, and will never rival the 77 qualitatively. For all you Fonseca fans, you need to try glasses from the '63 or '55 - or the '34 if you can find it. The nifty thing about Fonseca is how strong and kicky it is, even the '34 still has oodles of strength to it.AVB said:Damn...that stuff is $130 a bottle up here. Maybe you should switch to the '83 version and knock off a third on the cost. I have a bunch of $130 bottles od scotch but I'm not addicted to them, perhaps mildly attracted though.
Where'd you find the '60 at that price? I've never had a port from that vintage. If it is similar in caliber to the '63, it might be quite a bargain for what it is.AVB said:The '63 is getting on up there at $350 or so. I found the '60 at $180 though and didn't even try to find a '34.

Actually - I like the Fonseca 27 and get it some times when I'm out to dinner. I almost never order expensive port when eating out, as it is often stored poorly and tastes like crap as a result (or at least that's my theory). The Fonseca 27 either is popular with the restaurant crowd and is, as such, never sitting around, or maybe Fonseca's famous strength tolerates the environment better.gkpk said:Wow you guys drink some expensive port.
I actually started drinking port about 6 months ago.
I like Graham's Six Grapes, Fonseca Bin 27 and Sandemanns so far, all can be bought for under $20 at Costco or BJs don't remember which one of the two.

You've got a state store that actually has it (if so, where) - or is this the msrp price on their web site or something? Explain the mysteries of your fascinating frontier land... it has been many moons since I lived there-abouts...AVB said:That is what the State of Pennsylvania is asking for it, plus tax of course.
