while all those are well and good, there is only one port authority.

I'm pretty fond of Dow Ruby 1989 Reserve, 20y/o Sandeman Tawny is pretty good too.

It's not the best, but I would say it is the best of the ports in that price range... i.e. cheap.

It's not that cheap, still >$10 / bottle. Below it you run into ports that are capped and not corked, bleh.

It's a good evening warm-up, sitting by the fireplace.

I don't like ports at all - you can tell they were designed for Windoze

85.

And Centrix 50 - beefy looking. It could beat up all the other ports.

I like my iPod Dock Connector. It looks kinda old-school but in miniature.
Other than that, FW400 wins.

Since I haven't been to that many, I'd have to say Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale.

I like it for the big ships and things.

Earlier this year I had to finish my crate of Warre's 1977 vintage. We were moving to a country where we couldn't keep it. Shame, but did lead to a few very, very nice evenings of savouring it.

In West Africa, it would have to be Pointe Noire in the Congo, before the violence got silly it was the best run ashore to be had in those parts. Luanda, in Angola has a rather nice bar out on the point, they play cool reggae, and the local girls play volleyball on the beach in front of it. Not too shabby.

I believe he was referring to computer holes, not sea ports

Unless he did mean porn.
