For The Love Of Port

Happy Anniversary!! Please let us know how the dinner was at the Herbfarm, we'd love to live vicariously through your splurge! I'll have to try to find that tawny for my 10th anniversary this September.

or since I'll soon be moving back to Denver area: same question if you could store it for a few months??

Anyone in Oklahoma City area want to order some with me and split shipping?

Looking ahead to the future, some integration of video with FTLOP. Whether it is clips of travels in Portugal, video tasting notes, video clips from simple webcams of the port industry guests or links to information on Youtube (nice video there from History Channel I stumbled on last night: http://w...

Roy,

The 2005 vintage is my second child's birthyear. Now that it has been available for awhile, what is your recommendation for different bottles to seek to store for my child?

I froze mine in a plastic bottle as I didn't want the glass to break. I'll never freeze port again, just tried it out on a LBV. Moses, It most likely won't freeze in the car - I wouldn't worry. At least you'll be able to keep your hands off it at the party, since you'll have to wait for it to warm u...

I have used a small grolsh style beer bottle several times filled up to the top and when closed 100% of the air is out. Seems to work fairly well.

I also have heard about freezing the small bottle. Alas, I didn't have the patience to let frozen 375s thaw out.

I would be interested in checking out the LBV! Probaby have some christmas money coming my way and can't think of a better use! thanks

Hurry, hurry. I've ordered from them in the past and had a great experience. They have about 8 cases left as of 12:30pm MST. Also, reasonable shipping. Thanks, Roy

I recently have discovered that caramel is added to many (if not most) cognac and armagnac.

It seems to give a distinct woodyness sort of like mahogany. Not sure if it contributes any level of RS. Since I'm mostly a ruby drinker I haven't noticed if tawnys carry this characteristic.

Got a case, thanks Roy!! Also, Jim from JJ Buckley provided fantastic customer service.

Both out of stock now, the power of FTLOP! I need to pull the trigger a lot faster, this is my son's birthyear.

Thanks for helping me remember to keep looking for the 2000 vesuvio as there are none in the cellar yet.

A. here, 98% of commercial wine consumed is port. Non-commercial is the wine that I make personally.

Lucky me, my wife wasn't into port when I started my journey in 2003, but now she has a glass at least 4 nights a week with me! She is also spot on with bouquet and descriptions. One day I might get her to participate or hopefully go on the wine trip with me.

Any info? Is this shut down right now? This is my anniversary year and I'm looking to add some mid-term agers.

This wine showed up at a local liquor store, anyone have any info on it or can make a suggestion if I should by it and give it a whirl? About $20.

Ahh, yes. First port was in fact Sandeman Vau 1997.
