Re: BREAKING NEWS: Scandal rocks Madeira
I will let you Siri or Google your way to the actual story, as I want to avoid commenting on a story this is still in the midst of breaking, but the "Governor" of Madeira, that Portuguese call the "President" of Madeira, has been arrested today. Also the President of the Municip...

A rather short interview, but a few bits of trivia many may not know.

Re: Port in a Coffee Mug
Interesting that it's imported from England, not Portugal. I don’t see a Selo on the bottle. Perhaps exported from PT in bulk and bottled there, then shipped over? I thought that became illegal? Good catch. Just saw the 1973. Perhaps the UK importer forwarded into and UK sounds better than saying i...

Re: Port in a Coffee Mug
I've wandered around cruise ships drinking Tawny Port out of an opaque coffee mug. You're not supposed to drink your own alcohol outside of your room, but no one suspects a cup of coffee no matter the time of day. :lol: On a ship they generally don't care. Everyone has a drink, so walking around wi...

TN: 2019 Quevedo Family Mos Vineyard Douro
50% Tempranillo 50% Touriga Franca. Black stone fruit, tar, medium tannins with a bitterness on the mid and back palate. Overall, light/medium complexities with some noticeable, but not obtrusive, heat from the 15% listed ABV. A medium length finish rounds it out. I think this is only available from...

A simple link to the help desk, would have been great.

Re: Tappit Hen vs. Tregnum
Glenn,
The neck shape doesn't have anything to do with a traditional TH. It's the very top of it. That large overgrown rounded bulb. Also, the old ones were handmade and were not always exactly the same volume. They ranged from about 2L to 2.3L, if memory serves me.

Re: Decanting time for 1900 Niepoort Colheita
I've had this one and the VV with several hours of decanting and it was stunning. So I don't think you would go wrong with a few hours of air.

Re: Naked Wines - Quevedo wine/Port sale
If you’re a first time customer send me a PM. I just got a number of $100 off vouchers for first time customers. Min purchase of $169.99 required. But $100 off is a good savings.

Re: What have you opened this week?
Yeah, you need to use a Durand or Ah-So for any wine cork from the latter 1990’s to the early 2000’s. Otherwise be prepared for a million tiny pieces. No clue what the cork industry did to them back then. They seal fine. But getting them out is messy. I haven't experienced this problem with any pro...

Re: What have you opened this week?
1994 Quinta do Vesuvio. Decanted for 12 hours. The cork exploded into a bazillion pieces but the Port is in great shape. Dark purple, no meniscus and it's ever so slightly syrupy. Simply delicious and I suspect it will drink even better tomorrow. Edit: This bottle has been a revelation. I've had th...
