For The Love Of Port

Dear Roy,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, and please know that our hearts are with you.

Thank you Luc. Go with an "aged" tawny of at least 20 plus years. Easy to suggest considering that I am thoroughly enjoying a glass of Sandeman's 20 year old Tawny as we speak. However, what is to be said of non-aged Tawnys? Are there any good labels I should seek out and try? What about 1...

I need some of your experience and advice, if you don't mind humoring me. I am writing an article for our website, Catavino, on Tawny port. My goal is to give a general framework as to what it is and how it can be served, sort of a "dummy's guide to Tawny port". However, I find that I've h...

I just wanted to put in a little note of thanks for all of your great suggestions on the forum. We had an absolutely fabulous trip to Portugal and were received very warmly by the Portuguese both in the wine industry and in throughout the city as a whole.

Thank you for all of your suggestions. You've made our list of "places to visit" so much more interesting, and we will give you the full story of our trip upon our return. In the meantime, if any other ideas come to mind, please don't hesitate to let us know. And Roy, thank you for creatin...

Roy, Thanks so much for your suggestions. We've been in a quandary here in Spain because as much as we would love to drink more Port, we just haven't had the selection of Portuguese wine to choose from. So unfortunately, we've been relatively quiet on the subject. Hopefully, this will change when we...

Sorry for the long delay in posting on the forum, but life has been a whirlwind and unfortunately, I haven't been as diligent commenting as I'd like. However, I was hoping for some help. Ryan and I have some business in Lisbon near the end of July and are looking for some suggestions as to where you...

I just wanted to extend my appreciation for your thoughts regarding my article; however, I would be incredibly selfish to take all the credit. Ryan is the true wine expert here and I only back him up when I can. Without his thoughts on the article, i doubt it would be worth the "paper it was pr...
