For The Love Of Port

1985 Dow, with a little 2005 LBV currently drinking as a starter!

Looking with regret at the fantastic event to occur on 8-10... I am from WV but going to be in Newport Beach for several weeks in August and wondering if anyone would want to participate in some type of tasting in Southern California?
