For The Love Of Port

Whooa!

So we gone all the way round the houses to get back to Compost!

Al-D,

If you say that you KNOW that last point (Agitation) and have tested all variations, rather than you've just guessed it for humours sake....
I will recategorise your Port Geek Status to sit alongside the Great Corked One! (Al-B)

Tom, I had your problem, but if you follow Stewarts advice about Cookies, it works. For me this meant logging out of this Forum. Opening the Internet explorer page. Going to tools, internet options, then delete browser history,cookies,temporary internet files and passwords. I then checked that my f...

See, you start off funny, and then go WAY too far.

Wayne Rooney is the White Pele and plays for The English Premiership Champions. Due Respect.
He may be a Scouser, but he's OUR Scouser.

So lots of great Tawny's are just as good or even better than Young VP's.
No arguements there.

Al-D and Al-B,

Why would you want a botle of decent Port sloshing round your Car for 4 months of the Summer????
Dont you guys have window ledges, Green houses and the like. It just needs to be warm, not juggled.
Maybe the self proclaimed Genius wants to field this question?

And Welcome aboard Bryan!

I've been to Sauchiehall Street on a Saturday Night.

Hi Paul , Good luck with your quest. I'm on the wrong side of the Pond, and to make matters worse, have you sen the Thread Roy started about the Port going on sale in the UK now? It had 1970 10 cases £895:00 98/100 Clearly lives up to Taylor's superb reputation. Deep ruby, with intense violet and ch...

Derek,

Regarding Roy's suggestion,

Every 2-3 hours check on their progress ... however you want to do that (eyeball, swirl/sniff, taste a tiny sip).

The 'tiny sip' is a typo! Leave it alone!

Alan

Well Derek, this plan of yours has got off to a Fizzer!

Andy , It means I'm being set up, or stitched up. And a lot of effort is going into it. I dont want to try a young VP but Derek is giving me a glass of his, as he finds it amusing. A 'Kipper' is a Herring that has been filleted and smoked. Therefore a lot of effort has gone into it to 'dress' it up...

So back in Quincy's Lab, the Chinese bloke has sliced open a pice of Toe nail, slightly smaller thsan a pea. He couldn't test the outside, because the Alcohol had burned off the DNA from the surface. But now, yes, there it is...Quincy checks...Yes Human DNA! from the sediment of a 70year old Vintage...

I suspect you wont understand this, my North American Friends...

But I'm being done up like a Kipper!

I dopnt want to kick off that other classic arguement, but of course the Blender claims the Tawny is supreme. Because he has an Ego and he's made it. So he convinces himself its best. Nature gets my vote, and most of the Port World. It always reminds me of that quote, 'A Camel is a Horse designed by...

I suspect we have to be patient. I keep on having to Log out to Log back in to access Members Status on the Forum. I cant yet see 'Correct Names' when I'm Logged in as a Member and check others identity. I also cant change the time on the GMT Clock. But they hoped to have it up and running by the 1s...

You can talk in general terms, but this is a very subjective question. What do you like in a Port. I like a full bodied taste, with a few strong flavours, and a suggestion of other lighter flavours. I also love the smooth aftertaste that lingers. VP's at their best and in their prime can and do achi...

This is where you 'Trip to the Duoro' guys have me over a barrel. When they say VP isn't filtered, surely there is a process that takes the twigs and crap out of it? I always thought, it must be sieved or something, leaving small bits in it, but nowhere near as 'filtered' as the lesser ports. Go on....

If your unlucky....Yes! And it returns to your humourous answer of 'Toenails'. Anything, like that, that is solid, human hair,etc, but it would have to be microscopic enough to get past the filtering process, but big enough to have some substance to it. They are getting better at recovering DNA all ...

Couldn't another aspect be the lack of an established Book on the subject? I think they refer to Parker,Mayson,etc, and when they do its often accompnied by where they can be referenced, as in their books.
Just a thought.
