Re: Iron Maiden making a Portuguese Wine
Right. I love Maiden, but I'm holding out for the AC/DC Charlotte's very very very old Acacia Avenue tawny; maybe I'll try some of Eddie's "old bones" white while I'm waiting...

Re: 1985 Quinta do Crasto Vintage Port
I also used to have a single bottle of Quinta do Crasto 1987 vintage port (here in the UK, if relevant) which I drank a few years ago - it was delicious.

Re: What have you opened this week?
I wonder with the Graham's and Fonseca '94's if it was bottle variation? I recently had a '94 Graham's and it blew me away. The last Fonseca I had about a year or so ago was strictly "meh", but the one I had about 2 years ago was fantastic. Go figure John M and I had the '94 SW a year or ...

Re: Durand-style Openers
the coil appears shorter than a Durand's. I would not want anything shorter and I would actually prefer if Durand made a longer coil version. Agreed, an extra half inch on the length would definitely help on some port corks. I believe the inventor of the Durand did experiment with a longer worm, an...

Re: Maia Vintage and Colheita
Hi Alle, Regarding the Maia brand, the VPID (Vintage Port Image/Identification Database) has pictures of a bottle of their 1987 VP (see here ), and the label from that photo shows that the 1987 VP was bottled by "Hutcheson, Feuerheed & Associados". Those images came from the guys at vi...

Re: possible 1945 port, producer/shipper unknown
Niepoort used that type of 3 on their 1937 colheita for example, but with a very different font. ... feist have used it on colheita's as well but again a different font. Interesting; I'd seen it on a Niepoort bottle, but that was a significantly different font; but your Feist example is closer to s...

Re: possible 1945 port, producer/shipper unknown
The more I look at it, the more I think that's a '3' not a '5'. In all of the examples shown, the right side of the bottom of the '5' is easily more than half of the height of the character. Not so - at least not as inarguably so as in the examples - for the bottle in question. Also in all of the e...

Hi Mike. I agree that it seems unlikely that additional lines of text above would have been so cleanly erased unless it was done deliberately; I can see little value to be gained by doing so, aside perhaps from hiding a lesser brand name and hoping that a buyer might believe it to be a greater brand...

I haven't even had the chance to taste these yet (though keen to do so), never mind make purchasing decisions, and they're sold out already? Bah!Al B. wrote:4 x Kopke 50yo White

Both are brilliant blends. Both are sold out. Both are way underpriced compared to their competition.

c.f. "The man is 75 years old" vs "A 75 year old man". Similarly "these are 20 year old tawny ports" vs "these tawny ports are 20 years old" with imo the former correctly selected for most labels. That ignores the whole "in the style of a typical tawny of...

Re: Aged Tawny, Year or Years?
The port equivalent would perhaps require a team of us to hold a Graham's vertical, at the Graham's Lodge, while wearing viking helmets and singing "port, port, port, port" whenever anyone orders a glass or asks about the tastings. Silly walks to and from the toilets obligatory.

Also if it was Graham drinking the tawnies instead of Glenn, we might be looking at Graham's Graham's, Graham's Grahams and Graham's Grahams' tawnies. If Graham also had a friend tasting with him and his friend's name was also Graham, or perhaps Mr John Graham named his son Graham, and his son also ...
