I like Port as I haven't become obsessive over it so I can just enjoy a cheapish bottle, usually prefer an LBV as just more flavour form the longer aging. Did buy one expensive bottle which I haven't tried yet, just to compare it with spending the same amount on a bottle of whisky. Port I find a very good nightcap as not as filling as beer and not as hot as whisky so I imagine gout will be my new hobby

gout is a 'rich mans' complaint but if that is the price we have to pay for sampling rich wine then so be it :D :D

Didn't they actually use to think that Port was good for gout, or is that just me hoping

We had some of the Grahams Port over Christmas and we too liked it, we go for the LBV mainly as very good taste/ flavours for the money, while the ruby and tawny never seem as rounded. |
