I have a bottle of a RUBY PORT wine that was purchased years ago. The port came from Brushy Creek Vineyards in Alvord, Texas USA. There were 2 bottles purchases and would only be opened on special occasions. Each bottle lasted years as it was only consumed a couple times a year. The port was opened then stored in a dark kitchen cabinet using the original cork. I just had several tiny glasses of the last remaining bottle.of port, and it was just as good if not better than when it was first purchased it. I was under the initial impression that this was "THE WAY" to keep and drink port. But according to multiple sites on port, it should have been ruined years ago. I guess I was a just lucky or this is some very special port.

You can't get port from America, it's just fortified wine. It is only called port if it comes from the Douro Valley in Portugal.

That wasn’t port you were drinking if it was made in the US
