    Was it a sit down wee?

    My patch. Lovely ice cream shop in Portsoy. Saw the dolphins there in the summer.

    More seriously though, how is it? I like a special reserve or LBV mainly. Don't like the oaky ones.

    Smooth and fruity and goes well with cheese. Lots of decent ports around.
    Remember, drink sensibly!

    Tricky though isn't it because you tend to have to buy a large bottle and there's always that concern that it won't be nice and it'll be wasted so I do tend to stick with what I like.

    You need to find a good wine merchant where you can try before you buy.

    The Spanish / Portuguese border?
    Different grapes and slightly different "fortification" techniques

    Nowt, m8, it all goes down :laughing:

    Both are fortified but differently, easiest difference is sherry uses only white grapes and port uses red and white at times. The grapes come from distinct and different areas/regions.
