Storing Port

[hotwine]

Bought a bottle of Warre's LBV a few weeks ago (the '92) from my preferred discounter and the cork completely disintegrated when I tried to extract it.... dry as a bone. Had to strain the pieces out with a coffee filter. Figured the bottle had been stored upright for months, if not years. Still, one very nice Port. Bought another '92 from a different vendor last week, but haven't opened it yet. I'm for keeping all wines on their sides until ready to be consumed.
