For The Love Of Port

... To me, it doesn't matter so much which are in, which are out as long as we can all readily get the same ones. ...--no matter what in the end it will be fun. My opinion :twocents: This initial time should be about what you can get locally in your corner of the world without shipping. This would ...

Is it being proposed that we have a world-wide tasting like we did with the Reserve Rubies back in March.If so, when? (Around International port Day 2.0?) While this was initially just a way to gather people in the Northern CA area to learn more about and enjoy Port, going international would not b...

I think you should probably have someone with you to double-check your impressions. I'll volunteer. All in the interest of transparency and accuracy, of course. :mrgreen: I'll voluteer to triple-check Glenn's impressions. How 'bout a re-visit to Krohn on the 2014 Harvest tour? 2014 sounds good to m...

I'll be putting this on the calendar for Carl & me. The big debate will be drive Vs fly.

Since we have never come across a Churchill, we will have to be on the lookout for some nice 92 VP that isn't on your list yet.

This past Saturday the 9th we opened a: Porto Rocha Extra Dry White Port Porto Rocha 3 Centuries Port These were had as the begining and ending of our "Big Red Taste Off" comprising of 5 CA Cabs from Oakville. The taste off portion of the night being another double blind tasing. All in all...

Thank you Glen!

Does it look like there will be the 2nd annual PortDay in Jan 2013?

I’ll be in Baltimore at the end of April - beginning of May at a conference and would really like to find a good place to celebrate my birthday.
Are there any restaurants in Baltimore, MD with great food and a good list of Port wines?

A most excellent list here, thank you gentlemen.
Now that we have a good list of 20 yr Tawny Ports, the planning can begin.

CA restaurants should do a “Farewell to Foie Gras” week, with the final day being Saturday, June 30th.

interesting
thanks for posting

Since I'm not on Facebook, I can't even read the list :( I have heard of (and read) Eric Asimov though! For those who don't use FaceBook, here is the list site the FaceBook post refers to. http://www.vintank.com/2012/03/the-8-most-important-wine-bloggers-in-the-us/ While the link refers to 8 blogge...

Thank you for posting this. I found it a very well written and informative piece that I wouldn't have normally come across if not for your posting.

:?: If you were doing a 20 year Tawny horizontal, what 6 Tawnies would you choose? The one requirement would be that all of the wines would have to be readily available in the USA, through local wine stores. Wines that wine stores can not get through US distributors would unfortunately have to be of...

1 1/2 hours before we have to leave to set up our R.R. tasting event. It's pouring down rain right now, I just hope it stops before it's time to go. If it was in Seattle area, Carl's luck would win out and the rain would stop.

Thanks Glenn, that was remarkable. Why not write up your article for the next Guest Corner article? I am blown away by the results and it just shows how blind tasting removes all biases. Please take a couple of photos of the lineup to include in the article. [friends.gif] Great to see everyone and ...

Don't know.

Neither Carl nor I have tried Madeira as of yet.

Wow, how did I miss this post?

I like it!

At least they both refers to south of the waist.
