I still have two bottles of 1978 Woodbury California Vintage Port. I
would guess your 1982 is made somewhat in the port style. Quady and
Ficklin also sold port style wines in that era such as the 1975 Quady
Vintage Port and NV Ficklin Tinta Port. Ficklin used varieties of grapes
used in true port. The other two used various other reds. Perhaps Quady
stopped using port on labels for legal reasons or just to avoid
confusion with the real thing.
