Who were the first port houses established by the English in 1700s?
Warre & Co.
Croft & Taylor
Doesn't Warre claim 1670 or so? And for Taylor, it was established in 1692, by Job Bearsley. Joseph Taylor, John Alexander Fladgate, and Morgan Yeatman joined in 1838. And I have 1678 for Croft in my notes. Quarles Harris is 1680.

When did Portugal receive EU status? As result, what happened to Port production?
1986; Large houses and co-ops began to dissolve into smaller Quinta estates
New Quinta estates and small label producers began popping up, but I don't think the large houses really dissolved. Name one.

Meio Seco: 65 - 85 g/l

And I might disagree on some of the best years for Vintage Port. 2008 over 2004 or 2005? 1982 over 1987?
