Port and Sherry
Anyone know anything about these?
I had a bottle of port decades ago and remember it being very salty. Perhaps a tawny port? Anyway, I want to try Port again, and Sherry, as after dinner drinks (digestives?). Anyone drink these? Recommendations for a good one to try without breaking the bank? |

Sherry for me as an aperitif. I stand to be corrected but Bristol Cream is the only one that can legally be called 'Sherry' just like Champagne must come from the origin location.
A Sherry-like product must be labeled 'Apera'. |

I used to run with a lot of Portugese and Brazilian coworkers.
My favorite was always Grahams 6 grapes port. $19/bottle and lasted quite a while. I got away from NJ and havent seen my friends in a while but maybe Ill grab a bottle, thanks 2000cs |

Personally, for starting out with Port, I don't think you can go wrong with Taylor Fladgate 10 or ideally, their 20 year old Port.
They are quite sweet, full body taste, just don't pour the sediment into your glass. Great with dark chocolate or nuts for dessert. I also find it's great for sautee mushrooms.

I've enjoyed Zinfandel ports. They stay on the sweeter side, which I find nice with after meals. Add in a smooth cheese, mhhhh
Somebody (on here?) recommended Terra d'Oro. They ship to a lot of places, and you can pick up a bunch of different ports in the $20 range, to establish what you might or might not like. |

Definitely give Madeira a try too. I prefer it over port- kinda similar difference in taste to grape vs raisin. Plus it has an interesting backstory:
