A fantastic night of Ports and people. I am so glad to finally have meet some members I've not previously met in person. Everyone contributed to make this event a very special occasion and I can't thank them enough. Here's to many more years [cheers.gif]

Last night was a fantastic time. It was great to finally meet some members in person and we had some great Ports. While the VP flight was good the Colheita flight was simply stunning. I''ve posted a few pictures up on FTLOP's facebook page. A big thank you to all who came, it was a pleasure to share our anniversary with you all!

Yes, last night was fabulous as usual. Some really outstanding Ports, and to top it off a really outstanding cake baked by Melanie!

Did anyone get a decent picture of the cake? Mine aren't the greatest... but I'm hoping one of the non-phone cameras got a good image. Thanks, Melanie!

A big thank you to all participants for sharing some absolutely great bottles. From the first VP to the last Madeira and all Colheitas in the middle, this was a lot of fun! [notworthy.gif]


Glenn, I have some very good shots of the cake, all bottles and all participants. Dorene walked around and took pics while we were having discussions. [cheers.gif]

I'm going to end up with a lot of bruises for having to kick myself a second time for missing what sounded like a great time.
