Re: Why, when, with what, and how freqquently?

My consumption is very similar to Al B, although most of what I open is either vintage and/or tawny. Typically, I open very few LBVs over the course if a year.

Re: Special Occasion Port

I've got a 1934 Quinta do Noval VP that would be the perfect special occasion port. Although, come to think of it, there's a bottle of 1945 Ramos Pinto in the cellar that would also make for an interesting special occasion port.

Re: What have you opened this week?

A very nice Rozes 10 Year Old Tawny Just curious, when was it bottled? Mahmoud. It was bottled in 2005 and had clearly lost a bit of freshness, although on the palate I found the mix of dried fruits and nuts to be very tasty. Style wise it was a very elegant, well crafted wine. I hardly ever drink ...

Re: Port at Cinderella Wine

Yes, I was following the coverage very closely. As one who has battled wildfires on a number of occasions, I know how quickly these fires can move and how destructive they can be. I'm glad that all is well with your family. They were very lucky to emerge unscathed!

Re: Favorite sub $20 bottle of Port

1989 Warre's Quinta da Cavadinha VP That's not something that is normally priced around $20... I picked them up for $18.00/bottle. Over the course of the past year I think I purchased around 14, maybe 18, bottles at that price. It seemed like a killer deal to me and it wasn't a one-time promotion, ...
