Need a port wine recommendation

Ted Hart · 2006-12-07T09:34:30+00:00

Hi, I'm tossing around the idea of picking up a nice bottle of port for a birthday present for my brother. He turns 40 this winter, a few days after Xmas.I'm thinking of spending in the $100 to $150 range, and maybe in the 60 or 70s era vintage. I live close by to K&L wines in the SF bay area so I'll probably stop there to pick something up. I'm not sure if they stock everything they have on their web site but I'm sure they will point out everything in the store when I'm there. Rather than go in unprepared, it would be nice to have a few ideas of what to look for.Any thoughts or recommendations?Ted

One of the nice things about VP, is that you do need a few folk to help you drink it! My, and Emery's experience with opened '63s not withstanding, so the chances are good, that you WILL be included, when the bottle is opened. As for poor Emery, and myself, well, we might not be so fortunate. If you have a good price on any major house's '70 do pick it up. It will only go up in price next time. Did you say K&L? Gotta' call Ralph now!!!
