For The Love Of Port

I saw that, not given very good remarks by Roy in his tasting notes.

It might help if they did as some other professions do. As a CPA I had to have 2 years experience working under the guidance of another CPA before I got my license even though I had passed the test.

I have friends that tip 20% when the food comes out wrong & late, tastes horrible and was spilled on them. What's the point of tip then? The waiter is not always responsible for those things, I try to tip based on what they did and the service they gave, not what the kitchen did right or wrong....

I have ordered so much on-line I am now getting emails from alcoholics anonymous.

I have been looking at the Mitsubishi ductless split system but not sure it will do the job, anyone have experience with it.

Do you guys mind mentioning what kind of chiller you have? I have a basement cellar that is cooled by the house hvac unit but it is not keeping it as cool as I would like.

I don't have a bottle that comes close to what you are asking here but I have had the same discussion on a Bourbon forum I am on. My take is if you never intend to open it then it might as well be filled with water, you will never know the difference.

I might not have been clear here, my fault. I did not mean this particular port goes from like it to don't like it. I just meant my tasting notes in general. I like this one. Ok, when I don't like a port it is usually because it is thin Iike a weak red wine, or to hot with the alcohol burn overpower...

Ok I opened today to enjoy while watching the Nascar race. It has a driven cork. My tasting notes go from 1. I like it, to 2. I don't like if. I don't have much in between. I like it, I would say it taste like a Graham's Six Grapes on steroids.

Received yesterday afternoon, no indication on the bottle if it is filtered or not.

The marketing blurb said it was 90% from 2011 which made me think it could be rather good, at $19.99 a bottle delivered I am not out much either way.

Thanks for the reply.

I ordered a few bottles of NV-Quinta Vale Dona Maria Reserva Porto Lot 11 from Wine Library a couple of days ago. The price was reasonable so I thought why not give it a try. It has not arrived yet but I read something online that gave me the impression it might unfiltered even though it is a reserv...

Thanks, got me 4 of them. That is now the oldest port I own.

If you don't intend to ever open it then it might as well be filled with water.
