Any other port lovers here?
I've been trying some of the more affordable ports lately and stumbled on an Aussie "tawny" called "Old Codger" (it's actually a solera that resembles a Portuguese tawny). Not bad for $16/bottle! It likes to rest for about 2 to 3 weeks after opening before reaching its full potential.
I recently finished a bottle of Porto Kopke 30 yr. Heaven in a glass.
How about it, port lovers? Let's hear your experiences.

Try seppelts ports from South Australia.

They are renowned for producing a 100 year old port.

My fav is Quinta do Vesuvio. I try to buy at least 2 bottles every year of the most recent vintage.
I do likes me some port! - jimbill 12:25:44 01/10/12 (0)
I have a few bottles of 1994 vintage port laying down. I plan to open one this year.

I also enjoy LVB ports.
One of the best values I've found ... - mkuller 17:09:06 01/08/12 (0)
...in port is Fonseca Bin 27.
The other is Ferriera.
I also like Rosenblum's zinfandel port from California, sold in splits.
Not a fan of tawny ports.
My problem is I usually forget to bring it out, we're so busy drinking other wine.
