Absolutely patrician. Had some Taylor's 2000 round new years. Tasted absolutely incredible. Good thread op

Just out of curiosity I picked up some port at the liquor store. It was a tawney port and it tasted like straight cough syrup. It was disgusting.

I like this but I really haven't tried a whole lot of different ones.

>>10762074
Port unfortunately is one of those things on which you have to shell out the big bucks to properly enjoy. Anything cheaper than £30 will taste like shit basically (unless you live in Portugal). if you can get your hands on a Taylor's 2000 you can thank me later.

PS. Port is a dessert wine and is meant to be enjoyed right after a big meal (in lieu of cake or smth) - you can't expect it to taste good without food because of its sweetness.

>>10762019
What does a bottle of that cost?

>>10762098
Some restaurants are kind of cool in that at the end of a meal even if not ordered they'll bring out a glass or two of Port.

>thinking your deficient taste buds and respiratory system is a good judge of how anything tastes

As a proud ex-smoker I truly pity you. stopping is really easy btw

>>10762099
a whisker shy of €2000, give or take. The cost is best shared among 3 or 4 friends (or colleagues) for a special occasion. Lasting memories.

When all the good wine is gone, all that's left is port.
Not only true, but a good way to remember your starboard/port definition.

>>10762260
>When all the good wine is gone, all that's left is port.
seriously dude, get off that high horse.
Port is a sweet digestif with a strong alcohol content.
Wine is wine.
Ergo Port is not cheap wine.

I have a bottle of ruby port from the year I was born that my dad gave me for my 30th birthday. I was gonna drink it for my girlfriend and I’s 5th anniversary, but she died ;_;

>>10762171
That's a hefty cost, the most I've ever spent was like 150 USD for a bottle of really nice tequila, Porfidio reposado.

>>10764656
... this

I too enjoy several bottles of fortified wine before lying down in an abandoned house for a few hours

Hey, at least she didn't cheat on you

LOL

got this for my s.o. for a birthday present this year. he doesn't drink much, but he likes port every now and then and it reminds us of the first vacation we took together. i'd just gotten a bonus at work, so it was financially feasible.

this shit is incredible. absolutely incredible.

Are any of the cheaper ports passable? I want a big bottle as a nice dessert treat

I have a bottle of port in my pantry but I usually drink sherry, is that close enough or do I have to leave?

>>10764821
Quinta Do Noval Black and Fonseca Bin No. 27 are both totally adequate ports for ~$20.

>>10764826
I see port threads regularly but never sherry, so I'd say this is the right place. What sort of sherry are you partial to?

>>10764814
>got this for my s.o. for a birthday present this year.
poofter detected.

>>10764906
Lately just olorosso, but I have a dessert sherry called pedro ximinez that's pretty nice in small sips every now and then. I was drinking a palo cortado last year that was so weird, it was kind of tangy and salty like an olorosso but also a bit sweet and mild like a fine, it was like two sherries at once- equally good with salty almonds and with sweet fruit. Ove only had about 3 or 4 different kinds so I'm still new to sherry. What about you?

>>10764943
I don't really drink wine, the last time I drank "wine" it was $6 vermouth and foul $6 nigori sake as I slid into a blackout (at my neighbor's party) and then puked on my bathroom floor. Mostly I'm a liquor/cocktail man (sometimes craft beer)

I'm just saying this would be the thread to discuss european fortified wines

>>10764967
Specifically I like mixing because it feels more like a craft/hobby I can put thought and effort into and not a premade product I'm consuming just for the appreciation. Also I know vermouth isn't a "drinking" wine but I was getting rid of it, and the main reason I don't really drink wine is it clocks at a fairly high unit price at low ends compared to liquor/beer (decent liquor at $20 per 16.7 drinks vs pretty bad wine at $6 for 5 drinks) and I'm a poor college student

>>10762074
It is an acquired taste, my friend. First time I tasted it, it has the flavor of vinegar.
Now I know why the Englishman enjoy it. Give it a try.

>>10762019
chikun

>>10762104
Here, the especially old ones (and Italian ones) serve you a glass of limoncello out of courtesy.
That or fernet. You know, for digestion. Although I prefer Fernet with coke lol.

>>10764826
No no no. Sherry is fine, as a dessert. You eat a good bbq with wine.
Then you a have a fine sherry with snacks (like salami) while watching Argentinian selection tomorrow.

I never understood the appeal of a random sweet digestif offered by a dodgy waiter. Why would you ruin the crisp after taste of a nice creme brulee by a digestif shot that may or may not turn out good.

>>10764502
WOW, now you have it all to yourself. You are lucky. I got to share everything with a fat bitch.

>>10765113
Here it is understood as a courtesy. You can always reject it if you think you had enough. But we here in Cordoba think you never have enough. There is always space for a cordial.

>>10765159
Good times especially with a hot chick.

>>10765180
The waiter here always understands the mood in a good restaurant. I felt myself treated like a prince once, just to be pampered with applause as I escorted this thicc gringa.

>>10764929
i'm a grill :)

Port ist great for getting wasted on one's own,
