Bought my first bottle of Port today. Never heard of it until today but I must say that I like it. Paired it with a pain pill and am now blissfully frolicking around my home enjoying the day.
At the ripe old age of 67 I have discovered port. I was given a bottle for Christmas. I am not a wine drinker, but I enjoy a glass of ruby port a couple of times a week. Very informative video , not pompous just eloquent and well presented. 👍
the etiquette of drinking port is followed almost to the letter by smokers of cannabis: a joint is always passed to the left and "do you know the bishop of norwich" is usually omitted for "stop bogarting man".
A friend got me into appreciating good quality port some years ago, it has become a passion of mine. Always trying to find the perfect port, I like the port from. Portugal they seem to have a more lively, fruitier taste with a silky smooth texture.
You know, I really like these kinds of factual straightforward non-glitzy mature kinds of videos. If I want to watch a Marvel comix movie, I'll watch it, but otherwise give me the info I need and let me get back to business. The only thing about this video was that I was still looking for a very specific recommendation for an economical, tasty port that is readily available and can be bought and drunk straight off the shelf. I don't know why that is so difficult to find here on youtube. At my local grocery store, I found and bought some Warre's Warrior port, made in Portugal, for about $16 that seems decent. I'd like a recommendation for an economical alternative to compare it with. Thx.
@@eqlzr2 Warre's Warrior is a decent ruby reserve. Comparables are: Dow's Finest Reserve, Graham's Six Grapes or Cockburn's Special. They are wines made with similar methods, but using different grapes from different estates from the same winemaker (Symington Family Estate). Other reserve ruby's from different winemakers possibly available in the US: Taylor's Fine Ruby and Fonseca Bin 27 or Niepoort Ruby Dum. You can compare different house styles with these: effectively variations for the same tune. Then you can try the same with tawnies, LBV's and vintage ports to your heart's content. Hope that helps.

Mr. Walters radiates some serious sex appeal. Im a straight man, but damn, that voice and the obvious passion he has for this topic is hypnotic. Id drink port with him, but we would need to omit the clergy. What if there are two bottles going at once, both decanted? Do you need a separate glass for each? Or can you drink everything in your glass, then pour the second port in to the same glass? If you decant a vintage, are you committing to drinking the whole thing in one sitting? Or can one use a stopper on the decanter and finish the following day or evening?
Getting pissed never sounded to elegant. Thanks Demetri.

Informative, charming and refined without a hint of pomp or arrogance. The host is the epitome of class.
The port tradition was a bit of pomp, pretty much no ones doing that nowadays.

I was gifted a bottle of tawny port. I’ve fallen in love. It’s dessert in a glass, and I normally don’t like sweet drinks but this is so good.
I had recently the pleasure of tasting a 50-year vintage port at a friend’s. Fantastic, most enjoyable

Late bottled vintage port is probably your best bet, can be drunk straight from the bottle without having to decant it and is relatively affordable.
@@Osama-Bon-Jovi-01 Specific recommendations? Many thanks.

Whiskers Blake Tawny Port is a good budget bottle. On the dryer side, but widely available for under $20 USD.
amazing! enjoying a 10 year croft tawny right about now.
So am I I'm fucked
Is it bad etiquette to decant port in a straight decanter bottle please?
Is William related to Ronnie?
"awfully great fellow, but never passes the port"😂😂😂😂
Sean Connery approves this message
Stephen H so dose Chuck Norris and Morgan Freeman.

Hogs the decanter?
Keeps hold of
Can you repeat the sentence you say to the person holding the decanter please.
Clara Knott do you know the bishop of Bonner?
Always to the left...need to remember that.
Say what if that doesn't pass it!?
Oh dear a full bottle of tawny port will feck you up
When can port be drunk? More often than you think. hahaha
nice
WOW -
Well done. Americans generally don’t get Port, Too bad
Porto- the alcohol of the classy, Volvo-driving (but not at the same time), intelligent bunch!
I would hog the decanter
Sipping on some 40 year graham tawny port. Cheers all.
Very informative, a bit dry 😀😀
