Ruby Port vs Tawny Port

[@stereodreamer23]

My current favorite port is Croft Reserve Tawny Porto. Great stuff--super smooth, a nice balance between wood, vanilla, over-ripe fruit, and sweetness...

[@dennistsiorbas859]

Of the several archived vlogs I've watched, this one has been the most informative. I love Port which I seldom drink; I have been saving a bottle of Dow 2011 vintage for nine years, but it might take the birth of my first grandchild to open. Salute!

I started my wine journey with Six Grapes Port wine. Very sweet and mmm mmm good. Like drinking a whole bottle in an hour. With time, I graduated to drier wines. Eventually, I ventured into whites and rose's. But I like to return to Graham's Six Grapes when I really want a Port wine.

[@johndayan7126]

Please do more of these. This was wonderful.

[@kierenalvarez]

Wow. This was awesome. Drinking my first port right now from a local winery. Barrel aged muscat and a harsher tawny.

[@mimm4332]

this evening i'm trying my first glass of port wine ev3r. tawny variation... let me just say i'm in my early 20's discovering wine, i didn't know what to expect! I sat down with port cheese and crackers.. i'll be honest i do not favor the port wine... maybe this will change in th eyears to come, but i had no idea it had such a SWEET profile! very acidic,, heavy and woody. an interesting wine at the least, enjoyed my first experience along to the video :) discoveries :)

[@thebabyangel322]

I honestly was turned off to Port initially too since I prefer Syrah/Shiraz. It was weird for me to taste something that intense with sweetness, but Graham’s Six Grapes grew on me after the 3rd sip. It’s still pretty sweet but I think the depth balances it out and the finish is awesome.

Madeline i love wine, your blog/vlog, as much as i love you!!! thanks for the great info

[@eduardolandi6355]

Brazil here, thanks for the tips

[@harrie1340]

My favo brands are Taylors, Niepoort, Grayhams, Fonseca en Cockburns

[@tuberCX]

Hey Madeline. I'm new to this channel but love your videos and your blogs. I just wanted to point out though that, Cockburns which is a British brand named after a surname is pronounced "koʊbərn" like co (as in co-worker) and burns. This always amuses my French flatmate.

[@axelsaul4207]

How long can you keep a Ruby Port in storage? Will it age well?

[@brianmeyers651]

I've developed a small ability in my novice wine tasting to pick up a scent and compare it to wine. Your wine descriptions make my nose go crazy. Lol

[@Durian1st]

Glass: it is similar to scotch sipping glass, the different is port glass a tiny bit bigger than scotch sipping glass. Since those spirit are rich on mouth and taste so these glass are perfect for sipping (not gulping down). Good review.

[@sandbeda200270530]

What book is it you're talking about?

[@shayantani81]

I had two vintage ports this holiday season . A taylor 20 year and a ramos pinto 30 year tawnies . I am a 34 year grandma who loooooooves her ports ! Lol!!

[@shayantani81]

Actually had a 30 grahams too ! That makes it 3 ! I am portified

[@Kberrysal]

I am looking to pair a port with a cigar

[@winefolly]

Old tawny... maybe like 20 year? omg that would be so good.

[@Kindlyone777]

Is there a Port that’s not so syrupy? I love Port but it’s too syrupy to me. Sorry for the ignorance.

[@lalab8075]

Hi, I'm lala from Brooklyn and I am drinking Taylor New York Port

[@WinetourismportugalEnotourism]

It's always enjoyable to watch your videos. Great content, Awesome way to explain our very own Portuguese Port Wine.

[@ertreri]

tawny over ruby in general. stays longer in casks and gets to be the color of whisky. ruby also ages in oak but the cask is ten times larger and they age between 2 to 4 years

[@wavesofeuphoria2493]

Wow you are such an expert with your nose! Your voice is lovely too

[@wavesofeuphoria2493]

Why do people spit the wine anyway?

[@winefolly]

So you don't get drunk! :) It helps a lot when you're tasting a ton of wines in a day.

Port may be sweet, but you are sweeter.

[@doniand11]

I like your style,probably you don't think we should drink responsibly......

[@whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

The "port-style" wines I've had from California are basically just semi sweet fortified wines and have none of the special characteristics of a true Port. A good tawny is like baklava is a glass.

[@alexsmith4374]

osbourne porto is my fave

[@suginami123]

Superb.

[@joelcleare]

Pronounced Coburns. Not Cock-burns... pronounce responsibly. Lol.

[@sandbeda200270530]

[@Quarkwano]

Cock-burns is also known as Chlamydia

[@wesleyvanhamme7087]

i love the way u talk like ur faking the " Thanks for finding ons Yeay ! " you just litterly read that on a paper xD

[@drew3485]

Hi Madeline, you said when you see a 10, 20, or 30 year old bottle of tawny port that means the blend is at least as old. I was told by other wine professionals that a 10, 20, or 30 year old tawny port needs to only taste that old (which is decided by a panel of winemakers). Any clarification would be great. Thanks again for your awesome videos!

[@pattyboi55]

Andrew Vesey it's the average age of all the wines blended in.

[@drew3485]

KingKenna thank you, I have been waiting for an answer for a while now!

[@trespasser121]

Actually another expert says only a majority of the wine has to be that old - I tend to believe that version. 'Average' age doesn't mean much - you can put 1 ml of 40 year old to increase the number.

[@Emojohnnyblackxd]

Yay port
