Port to carry from Portugal to California

A friend will soon be visiting Lisbon (but not the Oporto region). She has offered to bring back some port, if I can tell her what to get. My understanding is that there are only a few big producers and that only a few years are vintage, so I kinda thought that I could buy in California almost everything I could buy in Lisbon. (I'm really only interested in vintage, ruby port, and I'm not interested in LBV.) Is that true?

I don't want this person to lug back a bottle or two just to save me a few dollars. But if there is a port available there (Lisbon), that I can not get here (California), that would be worth the effort. I know that there are some single vinyard, vintage ports that are made, and those might be available only in Portugal, but are they worth the effort of lugging back?
