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.

Hi Craig,

Welcome to :tpf: :D

Please let us know roughl;y where you live? It would be good if you could join one of our port tastings.

Have fun here.
