First Vintage Port to try? - The Athan Zafirov Wine Blog

First Vintage Port to try?

Hi all,

I’ve enjoyed trying various ports over the past few years: I’ve enjoyed some whites, rubies, and 10-20yr tawnys and I’ve wanted to branch out a bit more. While I’d love to import some of the mini bottle sets available on the Portugal Vineyards website, from what I gather it’s rather difficult to import alcohol as an individual. And buying vintage port is a relatively expense commitment for one bottle, so -

Does anyone have any suggestions for good US-based port sellers? And any suggestions for a first vintage port to get? I ran into cellaRaiders which seems to be legit and have some pretty good deals on vintage port - I think they’re good deals, at least?

Would welcome your input.
