For The Love Of Port

Thanks, all of you, for your thoughts on my book. With a bit of luck it will be out next year so you will be able to see the end result. Which I have to warn you, may just be a wee bit different from what you anticipate... More in due course!! But seriously, I really appreciate your inputs.

Indeed it would. But at $275(US) for 3.3fl oz, who is going to put their had up for that?? When I win the lottery...

Thanks to all of you for your thoughts on this subject. I will check out the website, Roy, and the Papa Paulo site.

Is this word still in use? Do you have flagons (ie 2liter glass bottles) or flagons (same thing). Wha...

Roy hi Thanks for the welcome and the background. I appreciate the detail, especially from a US perspective because I am totally lacking in that direction. I certainly don't want the port industry to diminish, let alone die, so I'm not going to bang on about. Suffice to say for anyone who does want ...

Production and export volumes from Portugal have declined drastically over the last 10 years and this has to have been the trigger for the advent of pink port. Same problem...

:hello: I'm Anthea and I live in Australia. I've just discovered FTLOP although I have been passionate about port for YEARS! I am an author and Im currently writing a small book about port basics. Not as in the serious detail on your website, but about what to eat with it, how to cook with it, and (...
