On hot days I prefer Champagne, Kir (royal) or Sauvignon blanc. But then, when is it really hot in the Netherlands??
At this moment I,m drinking a slightly chilled tawny (Krohn Colheita 1994).
Not bad, not bad at all!

Hi David, I'm very curious about your experience also. Personally the 20y old of Ferreira is one of my favorites among the tawny's, unfortunately very hard to find in the Netherlands. About three years ago I bought some bottles of Niepoort 20y, they were bottled about 8 years before, but I drank eve...

Prefered temperature of port?
Maybe the question has been asked before, but at what temperature do you like to drink your port? Personally I prefer to drink them "sligtly chilled", direct from my cellar, but maybe that's not common, because when I order a port (or a red wine) in a restaurant most of the time they are a...

A Niepoort LBV (year?) at an Englisch teaparty from a friend. We were with six girlfriends, five drank port, I had a glas of white wine. I tasted a sip from one of them..... and my addiction was born..... I still like to drink Niepoort, wether it is a vintage, a colheita or a 20 year old tawny! Jamm...

As I'm not such a great taster as Steven, Ronnie and lady Roots are, my tastingnotes are probably less representative. But, I did love to attend this tasting, and for who wants to know, my winners of this day were, rated at a 20 point scale: Taylor's 19 (HUGE wine! A mouth full!) Warre 18,5 (somewha...

Stilton and port
A few weeks ago, in a big supermarket I saw something I had never seen before. They had this large stilton on a wooden shelf. On top, in the middle they had stuck a bottle of port upside down into the stilton. The shop-assistant told me that it would take a few weeks for the port to ooze into the st...

Dear Roy When I first met you on the web, I thought: Wow, this man is making a living out off his hobby. I really did think untill now that you generated enough money out off your articles, leading tastings, etc. But for nothing only the sun comes up..... I agree on former comments that apearently y...

The most still wines I prefer are French wines, followed by wines from Italy and then Austria. I'm not much into new world wines. From France for reds I like Bordeaux the most, but I also like Madiran and Cahors. Whites Alcase (Riesling) and Bourgundy. From Italy I almost like everything. Lovely Chi...

As Roy said a few times in other threads, the 1995 seems to be an undervalued year. I have bought a bottle of Taylor and Fonseca and want to try them in a few weeks or so, when the temperature goes down. I've been looking to buy the Ferreira 1995 also, but can't find it in my country. When they tast...
