For The Love Of Port

Here here!
What do you think the chances are of that?
Sure would make the SF tasting easier and less risky with a couple of expensive bottles in my checked bag.

Booked my flight too (solo). Thanks for link to the Air Canada sale Alan. Ended up on United though, I try to only fly direct and plan to arrive on Wednesday 15 but go up to Napa/Healdsburg for first few days and then back in town for the weekend then home on 21st. Managed to get return for $475.00 ...

I could maybe manage late October to Early December too. Just need enough notice to get a good flight from Calgary

If I had more in my cellar I would drink it far more frequently (I am working to remedy this oversight). From my (sadly) limited experience I think there is a suitable variety of Madeira for almost any occasion or time of year. I am particularly fond of Sercial almost any time but enjoy sweeter wine...
