Porto is a city in Portugal, it is in a wine growing region (very
good, very popular), and yes it is where Port comes from. My cousin and
her fiance stopped there on their tour of Europe and visited all of the
Port producers they could find (which is the only reason I know about
Porto at all).

Isn't "porto" a designation of true port coming from Portugal?
I'm not sure now, but I thought I read on one of my references
that if "porto" is actually on the bottle it's referring to port wine
from Oporto, Portugal.

Boy do I feel silly, as Clint posted the cities name should be Oporto.

You might look for the book, "Vintage Port" by James Suckling. It has
a lot of good info.

I envy your trip, Mario. I would love to visit Portugal sometime.
