Good/ decent inexpensive port?

[mskerr]

Are there any good ports for, say, under $20? I've been drinking some cheapos from Trader Joes. I don't have a refined palette at all, and am usually pretty happy drinking cheap booze, but a little step up in quality would be nice.

Cheers!

Look for Taylor or Ramos Pinto, their less expensive ports can be found for around $20 and they're very good.

There are a number of good Dow's for $20 and under. I found a Lagrima Blanco for $16 last week -- very different from ruby or tawny.

Graham's Six Grapes is or used to be around $20, and it's sort of the gold standard for Ruby Port in my book.

I really like Warres Otima, which is about $16 for a 500 mL bottle.

My favorite cheapie is Niepoort Vintage Character Port. It's $15 wherever you can find it and has a dark, brambly taste in the style of vintage port. Great for dinner andy after dinner, the wine is a good balance of sweetness and bold berry flavor. This is part of a house of wine that has been coming out with amazing products for the past few years and is well worth the price.

Cheers!
