For The Love Of Port

Yep. Worked fine.

Hi there. Just an FYI for those jumping on the latest buying OP. I had great difficulties checking out from the "shoppping cart" on my Mac. I could enter my purchase/shipping info, but could not advance to the payments page. In the end, I registered and entered/saved my shipping and mailin...

Hi there, New guy here from Portlant, ORE. Only been drinking Port for a few years, but it appeals to me on so many levels that its sure to claim many a paycheck over the coming years. Other interests are music (instruments), my dogs and Wife, and bad cinema. I am a layabout by choice, and a UNIX En...

I checked out Vinopolis today, and brought home a couple bottles (Deleforce 2000, and Quinta do Portal 1999). Nice selection, and as mentioned, nothing but cases covering the floor. Cool shop.

Oh, uh....COBOL VAX Betamax.

A lot of interesting posts. Thanks to you all for taking the time to write up your thoughts and experiences. Roy's longer post reads like a monolog from a Martin Scorsese movie. Throw in a few F-bombs and a couple fugeddaboudits, and we've got a new plot treatment.

Thanks again.

Or when you have to patiently have new users to log out, and log back in again. :evil: Yep, I am (trying to get) in it for the dri...

Oh, that's a good perspective. (I could never get through Christmas Eve without opening at least one present.)

Hi there, I'd like to see recurring segments on new houses in the Douro (or outside the Douro) producing Vintage Ports. There are quite a few smaller growers which have started producing their own ports instead of operating as growers. It'd be nice to feature one in each newsletter in greater detail...

Ah, yes Vinopolis does appear to have a pretty good selection. I missed this shop for some reason or other. Thanks for pointing it out to me, Lamont. And, thanks for the other replies. Sounds like I am on the right track. Any disadvantages to half bottle cases? Seems like it might be nice to open a ...

Hello all, New guy here, (from PORTland, ORE) with a new guy question. I am considering moving from buying individual bottles of VP, to the occasional case, when/if the price is right. This would be to drink one, and store the rest in a cellar for 10-20 years. It looks like I'd be stuck ordering off...
