Andy,
Be nice, or I'll send my son (6'4", 195lb) to LA and you can feed him and he'll drink your Port.
On a serious note, I'm thrilled that he shares our interest and appreciation for both Port and Madeira.

1x Quinta do Infantado Reserva (It says demisec - interested to see if I'll like that - we just cracked it open and I don't like it the same way I didn't like the Fonseca LBV upon first opening but then loved it after 2 days, so!)
1x 2001 Niepoort Colheita - first colheita ever! Bottled 2012. Can I drink it now, or does it have to sit a bit more?
