For The Love Of Port

I fixed the save/load functionality a while back, and should now work OK.

The wizard is back online. The save/reload parameters functionality has broken however. Will fix as soon as can.

The placemat wizard is now back online, having been offline for a couple of months.

Thanks Moses. Looks like it is closed down now though.

Can anyone recommend some good restaurants in Chicago that offer port by the glass? Many thanks!

Been using the wizard for a couple of years now. Doing a placemat for at tasting Friday. But when I want to convert the ps to pdf I keep getting a conversion error. Seems something changed?

Hi Thomas

We did a vertical of the Vesuvio last year - you can read the notes here. Good luck with your own vertical, though I must advise almost everyone at the vertical last year subsequently agreed that 23 ports in one sitting was a bit nuts

Would it also be the case that significant bottle variation could occur, depending on how the port is flowed into the bottle filler, with some uneven distribution of sediment forming materials occurring?

For anyone interested, the Christies auction in London has a fair amount of Madeira on offer.

Dreadful nose of rubber bands. I think that is the first ever '66 I have had that was corked - normally a very reli...

Or pallet could be used in the context of wine and port, to describe the quantity of Fonseca 1970 I would like to own

We had a special guest from Montreal via the Douro, Fred... I joked that we would open a 3L of '77 Taylor, but I knew he'd be too jet lagged, arriving late to Boston, so we opened a '75 Graham magnum. I had only had this vintage once like 8 years ago and figured an odd vintage and from a magnum wou...
