Port Friends in the Boston Area

[Jim C.]

EDIT: I can't make it tomorrow but I can do next Monday, Wednesday or Friday (Feb. 7th, 9th or 11th).

[Joe Chan]

I'm book for the next couple of nights (Chinese New Year), but I'm free next week, pretty much every night except Thursday.

[Moses Botbol]

How about next Wednesday, Feb 9th?

[Joe Chan]

Wed night works for me. Anyone else?

Count me in and possibly Elys if there's enough room. I have a choice of a few worthy vintages I could be bring and enough IDVP glasses for any size event.

[Joe Chan]

So what is the theme? I don't have any collection, so I'll need to go hunt for some bottles before I can come.

[Moses Botbol]

I don't have that much up here at the moment:

1970 Warre
1970 Sandeman Mag
1977 Ferreira
1983 Ferreira

I don't care if there's a theme or not as this will be our first one. I know another collector has a bunch of stuff too (assuming there's room for him).

[Joe Chan]

Oh, those are some pretty old ones. This is my first time to these events, and I don't have anything that old to bring (just started collecting, my oldest is 2000). Finding an 80's vintage bottle on short order is going to be a bit tough. Can you suggest something I can bring. Alternatively, would you be open to have me cover part of your cost?

[Moses Botbol]

We can work something out, no worries. We could extend to tawny's too. A nice 20 year tawny or Colheita is a welcome addition.

The New Hampshire wine stores have 1985 Warre's VP on the shelves for $90. Store #69 is right off Exit 6 on Route 3.

Martignetti Company has cases of 1980 Warre sitting in their warehouse. I have contacted someone who works for there and asked to buy out their stock several times. He never responds... I figure 10-20 cases sold at a decent price would worth them to call me back... I guess not.

[Gary Banker]

I like 1980 Warre. The Graham's is better, but a case of 1980 Warre would be nice to have. Would this be at the store on Soldier's Field Road?

No, it's suppose to be sitting in their warehouse somewhere. I think the rep for Martignetti's could've been pulling my chain as I said I'll take them and I hear nothing.

[Joe Chan]

I just caught the flu so I won't be able to come tomorrow. Besides the fever, I really can't taste anything. I'll definitely join you guys next time you arrange something. Have a good time tomorrow night.

[Moses Botbol]

So, what is the plan for tomorrow? Can anyone host?

PM's welcome.

[Andy Velebil]

Hi all,

I've moved this to the offline section, since that is where it really belongs. I've left a "shadow topic" on the original main Port section so people still see it there and will be automatically redirected to the offline forum. Thanks and have a great time!

[Joe Chan]

I'm finally alive again after the 5 day fever. So did the tasting happen? How did it go?

That's some fever. Nothing happened. I (or we with better half goes) am around on Friday I think.

[Ted D]

And I traveling, overloaded, and general too busy at times, missed everything that didn't happen.
Interested in the future though
