It's a small port winery in the middle of California - and really worth seeking out.  I need to place another order, now that I think of it.

My favorite is Naples. Not so much for the city itself as the access in provides to Pompeii, Herculaneum, Capri, Amalfi,  Sorrento, etc.

Access to some lovely areas to explore. Positano can be added to your list.

St Francis' Winery in Reynella (south Adelaide) has an absolutely awesome 6 year old port that goes for around $4 a litre. Bring your own container to fill.

Unfortunately for us it's also a winter holiday destination, so have been multiple times and have seen all the sights.  So Arrecife is now only wort a walk along the front and a stop off for a couple of drinks.  2hrs and you're done... Probably more boring than worst, we've never had a 'bad' port.

That makes sense, I suppose many ports would become boring after numerous visits.
