Another Valentine's Day approaching
So what are you love birds opening with your spouses, partners and loved one's for Valentine's Day? Any special Ports to be opened this weekend or on Tuesday night?

We're going to a prix-fixe dinner at a local restaurant that will have pre-selected wine pairings, so I suspect we won't open anything - Port or otherwise.

We're going to the Melting Pot for their 5-course Valentine's Day fondue special on Sunday night. I probably won't be having any Port during or after the dinner, but will have a nice glass of Noval 40-yr old on Valentine's Day itself.

Dunno, we have a couple of things open right now that need to be finished. If we open something new, probably a 1983 Taylor as there was a post on it recently. 83 is our anniversary year so it is a thought. We now live a ways out and have a nice cellar and we can make very good food here, so we willl not go out.

She does have a glass on occasion. She's even more tawny aligned than I am, though! It has to be smooth and creamy for her to really like it, with more wood-derived flavors than dried fruit flavors.

Sounds like she'd get along well with Peter Meek too! Watch out for that Nimrod, the Port that is! I found a few bottles locally in a shop and couldn't wait to tell Peter. I was going to buy them and ship them to him, but he said he was not interested because they were likely older bottlings. I only had Nimrod once and it was with Peter. I should have bought a bottle when I saw them, but they are likely still sitting on the shelf. There were 3 or 4, can't remember.

Re: Another Valentine's Day approaching
One place in Boston has several cases of Nimrod in stock.
We've haven't thought about Valentine's Day yet. Not a big event for us. I have a bottle of Pierre Peters BdB we could open and pick up jumbo shrimp from Costco.
