I got White Port from Napa Valley, CA and it was superb. I like the Italian sweet wine, Moscato. I thought Port was from the Douro Valley of Northern Portugal and named after Porto.

Therefore, I do not drink or sample any varietal grapes that fall in the sweet category. I do appreciate a Port. Even though it is called a Port wine, normally sweet, I do not considered it a wine. Red wine is used for the base, and then it is fortified with brandy. I do not recall ever having a bad bottle of port from Oporto. I have about 20 bottles of port from either Oporto or the states. I have not seen or looking for white port from Oporto. Trivia - port was originally make for the British. That why you see so many brands with British name.
