Within the next month, my wife and I will have the good fortune to hold a Bris (jewish service for an 8 day old boy). Being a reform jew has its privileges, as mohels (who perform the Bris) require only that "a sweet wine be used" -- Kosher isn't necessary. You can all imagine my elation at being so well prepared for at least one component of the impending life-changing events.
Now the question comes "what bottle shall have the honor?"
It must be a good bottle, dodgy and unreliable port will not do.
It must be a worthy bottle. GC80 is very nice, but it is not nearly nice enough.
It must be sweet and not tannic. F85 is too young.
Here are some options:
Fonseca1977
Fonseca1970
Graham's 1966 This was selected, and it was delicious
Graham 1980
Dow 1963
Opinions?

It's about time for me to make a decision -- Elijah was born a few days ago, weighing a healthy 8lbs 6oz. We're finally back from the hospital and settling in.
