For The Love Of Port

Roy
I think Paul has a very good point, it is extremely disappointing!

Dear Roy
I hope your daughter had a lovely birthday.
Is there an expected new publication date for your opinions on the Ports?

Many thanks

great post Andy, thanks very much.
I look forward to trying them in London.
The Dow 80 is still amazingly dark and The last bottle I had was still rather closed!

Agreed, I don't see this getting any better and definitely in the drink up camp.
Last 6 pack to come out, been a great wine.

It is that time of year!
