Hi, Are there some PortLovers from Europe or even Austria? Unfortunatelly there is not really a port scene in Austria, so it is hard to find some kindred spirits. I looking for people to talk about port and maybe be able to taste some ports, because it is hardly possible to find a bar or restaurant ...

Thx, Derek!!!

HI Derek!

Sounds great! I thought of something like that!:)

To understand it right: You fill the half you want to put into the fridge unfiltered into the bottle.. right? So that you have to do the complete decanting before drinking?

Thanks a lot, greetz

Hi, I just want to buy some and I was looking fore some cheaper ones. So are they worth buying: - 2001er LBV Late bottled Vintage Dalva Port Quinta Avida 17,95€ - Quinta de Vargellas Vintage 1984 (they also offer the Taylor's VP 1985) (Auction) ...wasn't '84 a poor vintage?? - Borges & Irmao - ...

HI,

I could purchase a bottle of Delaforce Paramount Choice Tawny Port from the seventies.. does it make sence or not? It currently is on ebay?

Hi Andy!

Ok, thanks. So I think I'll also try a young one!:)

Hi Eric! Thx! good answers!:) Sometimes a read, that POrtdrinker write things like: "If I notice (while decanting), that the port is ready to trink, drink it." or "..you'll notice, when a VP wasn't ready to drink, and would have needed some more years to store in cellar.. How do I not...

HI, thanks for the very warm welcome!:) [cheers.gif] Yes..it is great to start early! So I can buy a 2009 VP and enjoy it 2059!:) I realy hope that maybe a opportunity arises that I can taste some or purchase like small tasting bottles or opened bottles (in case of LBVs, or Ports that makes sense to...

HI Roy,

thx a lot!

So is it just a question of tradition? I realy like traditions, but is there a real sens in it? Or would it be the same, just to push the cork (if it is impossible to get it out in one piece) into the bottle? Since you decant it anyway...

Hi Roy,

thx a lot!:)

One of the first explanation I read was the one from wikipedia..:) And this question just popped up!:)

I'm very excited!

HI,

I am a noob, so sry that I ask, but, isn't it a fauxpas to open a VP that early? Or is it still better than a Tawny or LBV?

Hi Forum, sry for this upcoming Noobquestions!:) So do you always dink the whole bottle of your Vintage, or is ther a posibility to close the bottle? I found some vacuum closing stuff vor wine bottles a.s.o. ... does it work? Otherwise you realy need a goog moment, to oben a good vintage, since it i...

HI, my name is Paul, I'm 26 and from Austria! I just found my love for Ports just again. And it fits perfectly to my pipes!:) I just finished my BA in Entrepreneurship and I'm working on my MA at Executive Management. :) I'm looking foreward having some interessting discussions and learn a lot about...

Hi Forum, I hope you excuse this simple question, but what exactly would you suggest to be the difference between Colheita and LBV? Both are stored in barrels or pipes. An LBV maybe as long as a Colheita? Is it just the quality of the wine? Is the LBV made of better quality grapes? I somewhere read,...
