For The Love Of Port

Negative Ghost Rider, the pattern is full....or not.

1/2 bottles do mature much faster than 750's or larger!

That was way to cool, especially since I was just there three days ago.

Yeah, now that I have had experience with dozens (emphasis on the 's') of corked wines, I am pretty receptive to detecting it. Sometimes it may take well through the first glass to call it if it is very slight.

I describe it as Grandma's basement......maybe just mine though, and not yours?

Looks like a somewhat tired '63 VP. One that was out of a newly opened botle with little aeraton time that sometimes allows for a darkening of color.

Heck it may be older? An 1897 Byass I opened recently was of that color too.

I have only had Porta Rocha & Kopke's '37 Colheitas and both were top notch.

I am in NYC this weekend and have mapped out several wine bars to visit. I'm sure there will be many a Port to be had at the end of the great meals I am looking forward to in the Big city.

Andy,

Cool, thanks. Didn't know abot that help ticket option.

I have tried the recommendation of logging off, clearing cookies, and logging back on but I still cannot access tasting notes. I renewed my subscription a while back well before my expiration deadline if recall correctly.

I can't access tasting notes either. I logged off, cleared cookies, and logged back in. No luck.

I have not yet had a '70 Dow, but I will seek one out now that i have read your shoutouts on that one.

I would have to go with the '77. I have introduced many a folks to VP with this one. Goes especially well with a cheese course I have found.

I'm a 36 year old Ludite as I just missed the real computer age growing up as a kid. I agree with alot of the sentiments above, my curiosity lies in conjunction with a recent discussion thread of attracting more younger people to Port. Would a Blog help in that respect? I dunno the answer, just thou...

My scepticism lies with the notion that we have caused it all. The thing with the delicate BALANCE of nature and the earth as a natural system is that we don't need to cause it all. We can be just a teeny tiny portion of greenhouse causing emmisions and be the straw that broke the camels back so-to...

This is (again) great news to me as I snagged a helluva deal on a 6 pack a few months ago. I have had one up on death row for over a month as i had planned to enjoy this one on Christmas. But on the Eve festivities, I forgot to decant and everyone's recommendation here was for a good 12 to 24 hours....

I was given one for Christmas and rather enjoy it on occasion for sipping a Port I know well since there is not much swirling and sniffing done with these!

Reply of the year, I concur :!: Although I am taking surprising pleasure at the moment in a cheap value Ruby, Fonseca Bin 27....one of the few ruby's I still enjoy as well as some LBV's.

Otto recently posted his TN on the 76 Krohn here: http://www.fortheloveofport.com/ftlopforum/viewtopic.php?t=4509 He mentions a rancio flavor in his note (that peculiar earthen cheesey, mushroomy flavor profile) On New years I drank the '77 Krohn Colheita (party--no TN) and found it rather enjoyable...

Okay so I'm on this train, or slow moving wagon train too. Not really a new year resolution since I have been trying to get into this popular Pilates Boot Camp Training for months. In any event they gave us little forms to also track what we eat and so not to be embarrased in front of my class, I ha...

I land that afternoon in Newark! I sent ya an email Francis.

Boy seems like this could be regular section all by itself with all these deliveries Among all ya'll, it seems likely to get posted every day they deliver save Sundays.
