Hi Jay...I learned about Port wine from the film Casanova, Last Love.

Sorry brother, but the fortification of wine came from visigothic tradition, and it was done by the Cisterian Monks accross europe way before the English started to import port wine. The production of Port Wine in the Douro Valley predates the Roman Empire, so, no the English weren't clever, in the sense that it wasn't done that way to endure the voyage. It was already done that way in order to preserve the wine and prevent it to turn into vinegar centuries before.

@3:26: What is this screen? You seem to have confused vintage and tawny. Tawny is cask-aged for the periods you listed. Vintage is bottle-aged for as long as it's in the bottle, not for the periods you specified. If you want a gift like you mentioned, you'd want a bottle-aged port (as you mentioned), but it won't have the cask-aging dates you listed. This section seemed completely confused.

Excellent video, I just finished a port wine, that is bottled a port wine, that I started in 2017. Your video was perfectly timed. I started with a California Burgundy and aged it three years in glass carbouys, with French oak chips, then racked it off and blended with French brandy, organic cherry, organic chocolate, and organic vanilla flavoring. And aged it for another 3 1/2 years. I’ve been making wine for over 33 years, and this is my first port. Before bottling, I filtered it down to 2 µm, and will be giving it out, and, of course, keeping some to see how it is every 5 to 10 years. I am a certified a septic processing technician, so cleanliness has been adhered to for the entire life of the wine to date. you were video give me some new information and recapped humorously other points I was already aware of, great job!

I enjoyed this so very much

Jezus! This vid is so fuunnyy!! xD

...Monsieur Truptintineau enjoys the port too! -Mixes it with orange crush n calls them "Five Ace Florida Flush"s...Just do-it! Ugh😣😲😒

This video aged well like a fine port wine 🍷

Dude last comment was 2 years ago BUT THANK YOU for that vid, i like it while i drink my port!

Port is generally an upper class delight while beer and sometimes vodka and bourbons / whiskies is working class even though some beers are more expensive than portos in supermarkets. Porto you can get better price same with sherry/Jerez/Xeres than Talisker, Johnnie Walker, or Jack Daniels. Where does that leave Jagermeister, Bailey's, crème de cassis, or lambic ales from Belgium.

It really hope you'll make more of these eventually

Fantastic video!

how long can i keep the bottle once i open it in my cabinet...

Awesome video.

I tried port wine. I thought it was gross. Then again to each his own. I never liked sweets.

Love your sense of humour!

Cornish guy over here... all the above is factually correct. Especially the Stilton cheese dreams.

Unparalleled dedication to keeping every customer happy and saving them money. Marina is the deepest on the Hudson, and most sheltered from wind storms. Highly recommended.

I've always liked Port. I should drink more of it

Sad you didn’t continue this. This would have blown up if you were consistent.

“ThAts My KinDA CHEEsee” 😂😂😂

I love ruby port with chocolate covered raisins ❤️

It goes very well with weed too. Better than cigars.

Very good

Lmfao i watched the entire video! You should make a tiktok!

Great editing!!

What is the proper name of the wine glass that you are using? I had one but it broke and I am trying to replace it with a pair of those glasses

It’s about all I drink - delish

Where has this guy been? Come back man

0:26 Spanish guitar to present Portugal

I fucking love Stilton!!!!!

What a great video! Where are you? No vids in 2 years!

They use port wine, a bit watered down, during communion at my church. Yummy!

It's a shame I only discovered this video today, amazing!

Thank you for this bit of education, I also like your sense of humor.

When I took over a friend's apartment I found a bottle of Port in the kitchen. It was the best dang thing I ever tasted. Incredible. I had to make it last because I could not find a source for an exact replacement. Now I am no longer in Berkeley and methinks that a good Port may be harder to find in central Texas. I wonder if you or Topher could make a recommendation. // Enjoyed this video. A friendly suggestion: Maybe hire a musician to write a song with better lyrics?

That glass is nice where did you get that I like the size

🏆🏆

I had an ex in college who's parents would down a box of white wine every night. I knew it was a lot, but oooff.

and that’s my kinda cheese

Jajajjajaja magnifico

i love this... porto cruz 1887👌

0:26 I like him already

it’s ridiculous that anyone would get intimidated while ordering a drink by anything other than a very attractive bartender or just an absurdly large bar menu, just drink what you enjoy people

The first port I tried was San Sebastian Ruby Port... and I'll never forget it as well !!!!!! :_( (gets choked up) ...good bye my friend.

How is the less that 100k views?!?

Why didn't he make more of these? Fucking brilliant.

wait, 2010??? WTfff
