Hello craig - welcome on borad :)
Any time not spend drinking port, is a waste of time.

Craig,

Welcome to the forum. We'd be happy to help with some suggestions for ports to lay down but let us have some ideas about budget and where / how you would be looking to store your port - and for how long.

My local Morrison's has now stopped selling Cruz '89. Shame, because it was a decent port for the money and one which I was able to surprise people with at blind tastings. But I would avoid the Cruz Ruby and the Cruz Tawny.
