Re: That "other" fortified wine ... Sherry
I'm a big fan of the Gonzalez Byass 30 year old PX sherry that we had a couple week ago - that's about the extent of our experience so far! Just got in 4 bottles of a younger PX to try out, but haven't opened any yet. While we're talking about that other fortified wine... Can anyone explain to me w...

Re: Which 30 for my 30?

Pedro Ximenez 30 years old Sherry
Had our first foray into this style of wine tonight - Wow! Definitely going to have to explore these wines a bit more - this wine was absolutely killer with a chocolate mousse cake for dessert.

Not many suppliers for that one listed on wine-searcher.com. Here's one in the EU that ships globally:

Re: FTLOP 8th Anniversary Tasting, 8-10-2013
We'd love to see everyone, but we won't be making the trip up this year - at least in part because we just allocated all of our 2013 port budget to buying bottles of 2011 VP.
Maybe next year!

I've just learned that Carl and Phyllis will not be making the trip up here and they will both be missed! We're disappointed beyond words to have had to cancel at such a late hour, but with both of us knocked down by some kind of killer 24-hour bug earlier this week, it was the right choice. We do ...

But of course! If you're busy when we're in the neighborhood, maybe we could drop them off at Glenn's instead. I'm sure we'll work it out.Roy Hersh wrote:Please call before coming over, as I have a lot to get done including airport pickups that day.

Re: 1983 Vintage Port - 30 Year Retrospective
As we need to have the bottles decanted ahead of time properly, would it be possible for the out-of-towners to ship their bottles to me? I will have a team of decanters here and I own about 15 decanters (and stock in the local cheesecloth producer), so we can do this properly. Roy - we'll be flying...

It's finally official - all conflicts have been revolved; we're absolutely, positively going to be there on the 20th with our two bottles of Port in hand. Can't wait!

Re: What Portuguese wines have you opened this week
Prats and Symington Douro Chryseia, 2003 Overall, a very nice bottle. Pop-n-Pour, enjoyed over a period of about 3 hours. At first this bottle had an odd funk to it - an almost leathery or meaty quality to the aroma. Over time, this blew off and we were met with the dark fruit flavors that we were e...
