For The Love Of Port

[1974_eating_popcorn.gif] While we are all on the lookout for the final list, perhaps we can start coming up with a list of suggested amuse-bouche to accompany the Ports. I'll start: 1. Maple syrup glazed, Hickory smoked baccn wrapped, manchego stuffed dates Please feel free to move this to another ...

Christian,

This may "require" a triple blind taste test for you. Triple blind when a double blind just won't do.

I just had a quick visit to the website again, most prominent was the speed at which the revamped new website loaded. It will be nice to take more time to poke around. As I am NOT one to mince words when opinions are asked for, I for one must give kudos to Noval for their quick positive response to ...

I whole heartedly agree that a longer lead time would be best. Once Port Day becomes a regular event we will all have plenty of time for planning. After all, these things do take a while to have most of the kinks flushed out. I personally would love to have at least 12 month lead time however, just ...

Since we didn't know about it until Saturday morning, we missed this year. We have however already started getting the guest list together for next year.

Noval Black.

Opened earlier this week and while it is a very drinkable port, the last glass tonight was showing its age.

[foilhat.gif] It’s most fortunate that the first time I visited their web site was just a few months ago when the old one was still up. I had just learned about the Quinta do Noval 1937 and over several days did some research on reviews of the Port (thanks Roy), pricing, Quinta do Noval, the Doro Va...

Now that I know about it, it looks like "Port Day" will have to go on my calendar for next year.

This gives me a year to gather a list of Port-Heads in the area for a party.

[imnewhere.gif] While it may be easiest to say “Ditto” to my husband Carl’s post previously I’ll add a few of tidbits about me. I’ve learned over the years that my nose is the leader for wines my tongue may like. If the wine passes the nose, it then can barrage my taste buds will all of its subtle a...
