Suggestions!

Post by Nik »

Hello! I am looking for an anniversary present for my husband. He is a port lover and has tried many different ports via my purchases for him and pretty much every single restaurant he's been to (from one side of the us to the other).

His current weakness is Pedroncelli (I think that's how it's spelled) port. I know he also enjoys an optima port (comes in a slender clear glass bottle) hmmmm... Also warres warrior, six grapes 20year (I think.. which are pretty much all he can get from the grocery store). I also know I've gotten him fonseca and ferrier (sp?) too which he enjoyed. Sorry, I doubt I'm very helpful...

Our 9 year anniversary is coming up and I'd like to get him something good. He doesn't like ruby ports - that's about all I know. :)

Thanks to anyone who can suggest anything. Looking forward to your replies.

Hi Nik,

As you mentioned that Pedroncelli is your husband's current favourite I am guessing you live in the USA.

It appears from your list that your husband enjoys tawny ports. One of the best that is widely available in the USA is Ferriera 20 Year Old. I am sure if you could track one of those down your husband would love it.

You can use WineSearcher.com to find this or any other wine quite easily.

Best of luck.
