Does anyone know of any Port tastings in the Chicago area this fall/winter?
Another way of asking might be--Is Roy coming to town??
Many thanks!

David - It's a coincidence to find this question raised in this Forum. Yesterday, while in Oporto, I paid a visit to my former colleagues at the IVDP (The Douro and Port Wine Institute) and asked about this year's Port Tastings in the USA. According to the answers I got and also due to the short time notice for this Fall/Winter I would say it's very unlikely to see an IVDP Port Tasting hosted in the Chicagoland area by this year's end. Nevertheless, I would expect a 2006 Chicago Port Wine Tasting hosted by the IVDP in the Windy City.
best. Mario.

Is there a schedule of where (and when), in the US, we will see Port Wine Tastings hosted by the IVDP in Fall/Winter 2005 and then in 2006?
There were two in a row here in Portland, Oregon a couple of years ago -- but nothing in the past two years. And I haven't been able to figure out where they are being held instead.
