Like actually bad, enough sulphur to kill a goat even after decanting and I’ve not known the penny to make any difference. Hubby can’t taste it, but he’s not much for actual taste, only sweetness. I feel like I got what i deserve for buying a cheap port. Is it worth it to call them?
pretty sure I paid a whopping $12. I grabbed one at Christmas while I was in the local liquor store since i knew it was something the hubby would drink with me. he’s gradually coming around, but for the longest time if it didn’t have enough residual sugar to leave crusties on the glass he wasn’t interested.
Wow, Markus…I first thought you were talking about a Taylor Lake Country Red. Then it sunk in that it really was Taylor’s Port.
At $12/btl, not too surprised at it tasting like a cheap Port, which it is.

Yep, it’s the cheap stuff. I knew it was cheap when I bought it, and wasn’t expecting anything fabulous, but the Sherry from the same brand we opened at Christmas did not have so much sulphur it was undrinkable.
Likely Thompson Seedless grapes (Vitis vinifera by the way) and fortified with Thompson Seedless brandy. Then flavored. Growing up, I worked in a liquor store in central LA. Sold a “Santa Fe White Port” at 20% alcohol that cost 58 cents for 375ml. It was the cheapest drunk you could get.
