Default Port (alcohol thread)

When I took a wine tasting class in college (yes, for credit!!!) one week was "fortified wine week." The ports I had there were amazing and I loved them, but I have no idea what any of them were (this was 3 years ago). At the liquor store the other day I saw a bottle on special for $6. I knew it would be crap, so I'm not worried about that. The thing is that it's not crap the way Mr. Boston is bad vodka or Franzia is bad wine. I can just tell the flavors are totally out of balance, and I don't think it's even aged. However it tastes WAY better than most $6 bottles of wine.

Anyways... There's gotta be some people on here who enjoy port. Give me some decent, cheap recommendations. I'm talking <$20. I know I'm not going to get anything great, but considering this $6 bottle is very drinkable, there's gotta be a $12-$15 bottle that's pretty decent.
