Don't know what stores have what in your area, but the most popular Colheitas are;

Niepoort
Noval
Barros
Burmester
Kopke
Rocha

Colheita is not as common under the British brands of port. Their versions may say "Reserve" and have a vintage somewhere in fine text (even though they are from Portugal). It's best to get a recent bottling on Colheita. That means it has been sitting in the barrel longer than in the bottle. Once it's in the bottle, it slowly declines.
