If one has pecan pie (a tradition in the South), Porto Barros 20yr Tawny is a
wonderful pairing.

I'm at a loss, however, where you consider the Taylor Tawny a Port by which to
save money. Even their 10yr is about twice the Boardroom, and 50%+ the
Cockburn's 20yr. Their best buy, INHO, is the 20yr Tawny for the fullest flavor
and smoothest texture. It beats their own 30 & 40yr in style, grace, and taste
and only gets nudged out for shear snob appeal.
