Tesco Special Reserve Port

Not expensive
Very nice
Short shelf life, drain soon after opening

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Heh, you don't know how much that made me smile after 20 minutes on the
phone to TalkTalk customer support.

 

Do they do a tawny? Very partial to a drop of tawny port, I am -
particularly as winter draws on.

Peasant. Anything non-vintage isn't worthy of the name 'port'.

Still has a place though, it'd be a huge waste to use decent port making
cheeky vimtos, for example.

 

Best of luck. SO is currently in a 2 month long struggle to get a
correct final bill.
2 weeks to get through to cancel the line.
6 weeks of assorted:
* Do nothing until they're chased up again
* Send out another "corrected" bill (that's still wrong), with added
reprint charge (making it even more wrong)
* Blame the previous TT customer service droid for not updating any
details about the problem
* Pass the matter to credit collection agency, even though they still
haven't sent a correct bill

 

Where's a good place to buy a good bottle of port? Tawny, 20 year old -
something like that? any ideas?

 

I just had my phone on hold to Orange Business customer service. We
spend 6,500 a quarter and I held for 30 minutes then got fed up. Cunts.

 

Quote from a Port expert in O'Porto.
"It doesn't get any better after 5 or 6 years"

So the answer is Tesco and Warre's Warrior (usually)

That's me. Would you really turn your nose up at the thought of a drop
of Taylor's 40 year old tawny?

Well I'd give it a try, sure, but I've yet to taste a tawny that comes
anywhere close to being what I call good. Shame, 'cos it seems
impossible to get the proper vintage stuff over here, but I've still
got a few bottles in the cellar.

Go for a Vintage or Late Bottled Vintage. . Any of the main brands
(Warre's, Taylor's, Doure's, Graham's) you'll find in the UK will be
good although personally I veer more towards the Graham's. Don't worry
about the age, although some specific years are particularly good, but
all of the recently declared vintages are good. If it's not up to
scratch, they won't call it a vintage year.
