Bought my first bottle of Port today. Never heard of it until today but I must say that I like it. Paired it with a pain pill and am now blissfully frolicking around my home enjoying the day.
At the ripe old age of 67 I have discovered port. I was given a bottle for Christmas. I am not a wine drinker, but I enjoy a glass of ruby port a couple of times a week. Very informative video , not pompous just eloquent and well presented. 👍
the etiquette of drinking port is followed almost to the letter by smokers of cannabis: a joint is always passed to the left and "do you know the bishop of norwich" is usually omitted for "stop bogarting man".
A friend got me into appreciating good quality port some years ago, it has become a passion of mine. Always trying to find the perfect port, I like the port from. Portugal they seem to have a more lively, fruitier taste with a silky smooth texture.
You know, I really like these kinds of factual straightforward non-glitzy mature kinds of videos. If I want to watch a Marvel comix movie, I'll watch it, but otherwise give me the info I need and let me get back to business. The only thing about this video was that I was still looking for a very specific recommendation for an economical, tasty port that is readily available and can be bought and drunk straight off the shelf. I don't know why that is so difficult to find here on youtube. At my local grocery store, I found and bought some Warre's Warrior port, made in Portugal, for about $16 that seems decent. I'd like a recommendation for an economical alternative to compare it with. Thx.
@@eqlzr2 Warre's Warrior is a decent ruby reserve. Comparables are: Dow's Finest Reserve, Graham's Six Grapes or Cockburn's Special. They are wines made with similar methods, but using different grapes from different estates from the same winemaker (Symington Family Estate). Other reserve ruby's from different winemakers possibly available in the US: Taylor's Fine Ruby and Fonseca Bin 27 or Niepoort Ruby Dum. You can compare different house styles with these: effectively variations for the same tune. Then you can try the same with tawnies, LBV's and vintage ports to your heart's content. Hope that helps.

Mr. Walters radiates some serious sex appeal. Im a straight man, but damn, that voice and the obvious passion he has for this topic is hypnotic. Id drink port with him, but we would need to omit the clergy. What if there are two bottles going at once, both decanted? Do you need a separate glass for each? Or can you drink everything in your glass, then pour the second port in to the same glass? If you decant a vintage, are you committing to drinking the whole thing in one sitting? Or can one use a stopper on the decanter and finish the following day or evening?
