Default Mixing port wine

Just curious...

Am I the only person in this planet who likes Port wine but usually finds it
too sweet?

So I usually mix it with another (usually not-expensive merlot) wine to
achieve a great taste.

żAnybody else has come up with good mixes?

Hmmm. For me, that's a kind od oxymoron: Either I like something (a
given produce), or I don't.

Whatever suits to your taste (as long as it contains wine ;-) - go
ahead.

Sandeman in Portugal serve their White Port as a long drink called
"Splash": Icecubes in a highball glass, a serious service of Sandeman
White Port (on the dry side, iirc), filled up with tonic.

Had that with George Sandeman on a boat on the Douro - and very fine
it was, in fact.
