I am very excited to head over to Portugal again. Jeez, two months in a row and if you count being there in Dec. too ... it will be three months in a row.
I just got home a couple of hours ago, from a week away in Colorado and this is a tough turn around. Then again, two days after my return I am heading to NY for a week. The madness doesn't stop there.
Anyway, I should be able to access FTLOP from over there. I have some insane tastings that I am very much looking foward to. More fodder for the newsletter. It has been about 16 months since I was in Portugal without leading a tour, so this is going to be a very different type of visit.
Hold down the fort, men. General Stewart and Colonel Andy are in charge!
Oh yeah, the good news is that FTLOP issue #27 should reach your mailbox on Tuesday or Wednesday. Enjoy!

Have a safe trip.
BTW, if you decide to stay permanently in the mother land, have no fear, General Stewart and I will guard your cellar. Although, there may not be much to guard after awhile

Andy,
Written from the Newark airport:
Bring a gun or Taylor will kick your butt. She's better than a Rottweiler!
If you manage to get past her ... I have a feeling that you and Stewart will have years of good fun down there, but leave something for Doe to drink on occasion (and not just the Ports).
I had no choice but to go from here to Lisbon then to Porto, kind of a bummer but hey ... its the holiday season and all that jazz.
The good news is that my hotel has web connectivity, although I am focusing on getting lots done on the Dec. newsletter.
Take care!

Hi Derek,
Unfortunately not. I am now in Lisboa waiting for 3 hours for my next flight and one day might just wind up in Porto. Don´t you think I would´ve let you know if I was going to be back in range of the Pipe?
These Portuguese keyboards always give me a hard time but they do have all the accent marks that I can only dream of being able to use.
