For The Love Of Port

I'll guess 5.36. It doesn't take a ton of premium stuff to raise the average.

Still have yet to try any, mostly because I haven't see any for offer in my usual brick and mortar stores (both are small, though one has an excellent port selection)

I prefer not to spit, as I agree wine doesn't have the same impression on the finish when spit, but for large tastings, at least some spitting is necessary. At the very least, keeping reasonably sober helps stave off palate fatigue. I agree with Glenn though, I strive not to spit the old and/or supe...

Yes it is

Thanks to all for a wonderful time and tasting! It's always great to drink port with friends, old and new! Especially big thanks to Roy, who put in a tremendous amount of effort to making this event such a success.

Big takeaway? Buy and age more LBV!

Only a few hours before I begin the trek north! Equally excited.

... side by side bottles of the same wine, blind, and really found little difference between one at rest for 6 mo and one shipped cross country and arrived the day before. What wine, how much sediment, and what was the consistency of the sediment? Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk 2 http://m.ustre...

Still no word, unfortunately. I'll hold off on the reservation until tomorrow. Thanks for tackling all the details!

Definitely debatable as to how long to wait post shipping. I'll have to look up the Wine Library TV episode where a couple of knowledgable enthusiasts compared side by side bottles of the same wine, blind, and really found little difference between one at rest for 6 mo and one shipped cross country ...

Ooh! Count me in!

Why oh why did I buy a 6 litre bottle of Vesuvio 2011? At the age of 50, when am I ever going to open that? Presumably at the same time that I open my 6 liter bottle of 2011 Quevedo. :) I'll be happy to wheel both of your wheelchairs around, I should only be to cane stage by then :-). Sent from my ...
