have you ever tried a white port?

I picked up a bottle of white port from a winery in tennesee this summer and I thoughally enjoyed it. Has any one else ever tried a white port?

A fellow I heard of who lived at 722 Toulouse Street in the Vieux carre used to wash his "Sandman Specials" down with white port.

I never considered to to be a particularly elegant tipple, but it does get the job done.

I've tried a couple white ports. While a bit interesting, I haven't really found them to have any real character.

When I was touring the Port Houses in Porto a couple years ago, they were saying that the white ports were being marketed as a 'sweet, neutral spirit' around which to create cocktails.

I can see them being quite good at that, or perhaps mixed with sparkling water on a hot day, but as a drink on its own, I'll pass.

I have tried a couple but didn't really like them. Last week I tried Pink Port which was made by Croft, I can't really recommend it but I was glad I tried. I'll just stick to the standard LBV I think.

Try peter van Gents Pipeclay white port.
From Mudgee (near Orange... Ish) smooth, but with that loverly port taste... But it is not red!

I've used white port in sangria and for cooking but that's about it.

I got some at the local convenience store, that had a reasonably chichi wine section (for a convenience store)...something Spanish I think. Pretty much tasted like sweet sherry to me.
