For The Love Of Port

Definitely something more productive

That being said , any time spent investigating port is time well spent . . .

Although I'm new to the Port world , I'm learning just by reading everyones TN's .
Unfortunately , living in Montréal , the SAQ tends to put a damper on the ability to get high quality VP . ( As Fred can attest )

Thanks for the advice guys . . .
Then decanting it is . . .

Just purchased a Krohn 1958 colheita . ( botted in 2004 )
Should I decant ?

There were not many declarations in that year , however Krohn has a good reputation for colheita's .

let you all know how thigs turn out . . .

Just finished reading Port & the Douro ( revised edition )
Very informative , the in's an out's of port making .
A great place to start for a newbie . . .

For those of us here in Montréal , the SAQ is taking 20% off certain VP's .
And 30 to 40 % off on certain wines .
Check it out . . .

5 to 6 days a week . . . usualy a 20 year tawny

I guess a trip to Uncle Sam's is in order . . .
'till then , I'll hold off buying a VP from '63

VP Taylor '91 ( 1st try at decanting . . . success )

Wasn't dissapointed .
Went down smooth :)
