with a collection of tasting notes to replace Suckling's book

...hmmm. I think I might ghost-write a collection of anecdotes of someone who loves port, has organised several trips to Portugal and experienced many amusing incidents during his visits. I would fill the majority of the book with their recent tasting notes of as wide a range of port as possible to provide port lovers around the world with a collection of tasting notes to replace Suckling's book on their bookshelf.

Now if only I can find someone who fits the bill and can be persuaded to write a book like this. Anyone know of someone who fits the bill

I guess it is time for Andy to get busy! Will he have to give up his day job?

The Douro: Birthplace of Vintage Wine

Or some such title.....but I'd delve into the history and evolution of Port wine which might add a bit of spice to the book. It would be similar to Mayson's but with a more in-depth focus on the various characters that have helped shape the Port industry.
