Nice reading... A crime, but still nice reading. I enjoyed it.

WHEN THE Wall Street Journal sent me two bottles of Croft Quinta da Roêda 2012 Vintage Port, the only Port I had tasted up to that point was reminiscent of cough syrup
He's obviously only had some pretty bad Port.

The article is full of out dated or outright wrong info about Port. The story of the FROG is interesting but does anyone think it would have turned out good? A waste of a bottle.

I wonder if they can do a few other experiments, such as disproving blenders as useful decanting tools, for the group of wine drinkers without sense.

Ambition driven by passion, rather than money, is as strong an elixir as is Port. http://www.fortheloveofport.com
