For The Love Of Port

Look forward to being back in Issaquah !

That is, if I receive an invitation.

Nope, you guys just missed out on something that was not just any "chardonnay". You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink [dash1.gif] . I played out on chard many years ago unless it is something spectacular driven by acidity and structure. :yumyum: Nope, nothing...no '85 ...

Something wonderful to look forward to, indeed! Hope there is space for me.

I'm already signed up. I am trying to find some new producers for a distributor/importer friend of mine who wants to expand their line of Portuguese wines.
See you there,

Ed

I'm in for a Fonseca vertical if it goes back several years from 1970 . Texas or East coast is fine w/me.

Yes, yes, I'll be there.

I decanted a '70 Taylor yesterday around 1 pm and drank around 8pm. It was magnificent! I was totally shocked as it had a low shoulder fill and I was just getting it out of its' misery, so to speak. Had a hard wax capsule, cork intact, and bottled in '72 at Taylor as per the label. The '70 tasted la...

As Lisa said, I echo everyone's comments! What a fabulous tasting! The best port tasting I have ever had!! :NotWorthy: A fantastic group of very knowledgeable people, I always leave knowing more about port than before. Once a year is not enough. Don't forget...Chef Steve and I can provide a memorabl...

The best rate I could get at the Holiday Inn was $202/night.. I can't believe they have gone up so much. Does anyone know anything about airbnb in the area? I've never used it so know nothing.

Thanks,

Ed

Please enroll me for both days. I'll bring '66 Warre's.
Thanks, Ed

The travelogue has been very informative. Thank you for losing sleep time to give us this detailed report.

Hey Brad,

Glad you liked the bottle from my sale. I think you and Roy grabbed most of those, so good for you!!

All I can say is "what they said". What a wonderful weekend and thank you for the warm welcoming of Chef Steve McNabb into the arcane world of port and port lovers. I would only add that the Croft seems to have been overlooked as I found it to be a delicious port of refined balance and com...

What a great organization to be a part of!!!

Wha...! Only 32 ports . I second or third the above comments and really appreciate the tremendous amount of work by Glenn and Roy putting this extraordinary tasting together . Can hardly wait !

Belated Merry Christmas wishes to you, Roy, and to all of the hard working FTLOP staff! I enjoy being a member of FTLOP very much and I learn so much from member's postings and from the outstanding newsletters. BTW...I opened a bottle of '63 Sandeman on Christmas (opened 2 days before and decanted o...

I'm booked at Holiday Inn-Issaquah . Jan. 23 arrival-Jan 26 departure. Would love to go to Herbfarm , but too rich for my blood . If anyone would like to meet for a Fri night dinner somewhere close to Hol Inn, let me know.

What a tasting this will be!!!

Fellow FTLOPers :ftlop2014: , This is my final offering to rid myself of my friends port. It is sitting in my garage :yumyum: . These are his lowest prices and probably no lower at these very good Black Friday prices :D Shipping to buyers in Boston, New York, et al will begin next week. As I type, I...

I have enjoyed reading the erudite Q&A and any question I may have had, has been answered. What a valuable resource (FTLOP) it is to be able to get the "real deal" answers from the source. Thank you Dominic for taking the time to answer our questions! Thank you Roy for your and your te...

yes, yes please add me to the list!!
