Any porters here?
I've had port wine on a few occasions, never enjoyed it. They always struck me as syrupy and sweet. Fruit was buried. Could be the fortification - I prefer light body wines. Maybe they were simply crummy?
I'll give it one more try. Anyone want to recommend a port for someone who never found one he liked?
If you're a bit adventurous, you might try tawny port. I happen to like Dow's 10-year-old Tawny Porto. Taylor Fladgate ports are quite popular with some past posters on here.

Have you tried Madeira? Also fortified, but rarely syrupy, and it can be dry ( try a Sercial), medium, or sweet.
