So AFTER the 1985 tasting ... what should we do next?

[Glenn E.]

Almost forgot - I also have a Rozes 40-yr old now residing in England. It might hop the pond prior to this tasting, though, depending on when that is.

[David Spriggs]

How about an old Colheita tasting?

I vote for this as well.

[David Spriggs]

In addition for the 40's, I have Brunheda, Portal, Revolta, Burmester, and half bottles of Casa Santa Efemia. I also have a bottle of Taylors that's been in bottle for 20 years or so.

I have full bottles of the Santa Eufemia

Jeez, talk about putting the cart before the horse ... there are SO MANY other details to firm up before worrying about who has which 40 year old bottle.

LOL

At least we are eager to get together again! I love the 40 yro idea and also old colheitas. Just hope I can make it whenever we set the date. Wouldn't it be my luck that I have to miss out on the weekend where we actually do tawnies? :)

Who cares about tiny details. As long as we have Port we're golden. If all else fails we'll sit outside on a bus bench with a bunch of bagged up bottles, pass them around, and all take swings straight from the bottle. No back-washing allowed folks.

Hey, we just had a bunch of tawnies. I know they said 1985 VP on the label, but a bunch were tawny.

I thought police frowned on that kind of thing

I have a 1966 Graham's for the tasting next year, if anyone else is thinking that far ahead…...

[Eric Ifune]

Hoping this is the weekend of Aug 1. I'm working the other weekends!

[Allan Engelsted Laurents]

Just let me know when You guys will have Your tasting - and which Port You will be consuming, and I will sit alone in Denmark with 3 bottles on my own:
1) Taylor 40 Y (bottled in 1980)
2) Amandios Colheita 1957
3) Niepoort VV

Or Maby we Can have the tasting at my place

1966 sounds like a nice round number to have tasting based around.

[David Spriggs]

The 1966 tasting should be in 2016. Is the tasting we are discussing going to happen this year??

[Lindsay E.]

Colheita's are an area I'd really like to explore in serious depth. 40yr tawnies would also be fun, but I suspect it would be a more subtle and challenging.

In the interim, if anyone in the Seattle area is interested in drinking some Madeira soon, I'm really jonesing to drink through some verdelho...
