Did you find this around our area? I should get a couple bottles as it's quite nice.

Tonight great friends are Coming over. I have had a special bottle for a while, not really knowing the content. Thats why I opend a second bottle just in case. But the mysterious bottle turned out to be nothing more than fantastic. When the Cork came off the entire room was filled with that sense, I just so fancy
The smell of pure and simple quality.

If any body knows about it please feel free to make comments.

And the second bottle, sweet and ladylike, a Ramos Pinto 20 years, bottled in 1976.

Have a great weekend
Allan

Allan,
Was it a table wine or Port?

It was a Port. And Roy can verify that. I showed him the emty bottle last Night.
Allan

What have You opend this week, and who stood on my doorstep last Night, with a giant Portglas in his hand?

I have been to a few tastings, But the one last Night I will remember for a long time. Just Two guys and two Ports.
And what Ports could bring Mr. Roy out of his comport zone.

A back to back tasting of the two famous Niepoort Colheitas 1934 and 1935.

I will let the smiles talk for themselves.

I hope Roy will post his notes when he returns back to US.

Live is great, also on a boring wednesday Night.

All the Best from MacAllan, and his Nice girlfriend who took the Photo, and had one little sip...

The new wine bar passed the test

Hi Al
I am going to London myself. Where is the new place? The just closed the Churchill Porthouse in june this year.
Greetings from
Allan

This was the Davy's wine bar The Exchange at Woolgate, close to the Barbican but you can find both these ports on the wine list of most branches of Davy's in London. Another chain to try is El Vino.

And when you know the dates of your trip to London, let us know and we might be able to organise a few of the UK based members to meet up with you during your visit.

Hi Al
I am just in London for the weekend. Attending some nice musicals. Let try to get together next time, I appriciate Your thoughts.

I opened a Cavadinha 1987 last night and will open a Roeda1967 on Saturday night.

Decanted a 1975 Graham's magnum for a party tonight. Bought this a few years ago and have been looking for the right opportunity to open. Beautiful brick red color and early indications are that this is going to be a very nice specimen of this Port.

1984 Kopke Colheita from the recent buying opportunity. Delicious!

Stood up a 1960 Noval VP to decant in the morning to take to Benchmark Wine Group tasting. Their list is impressive, but no Port!

I found that bottle at a shop in the Bay Area. I thought that it was very tasty and I wish that I had purchased more bottles!

I know, David. It was a very special night, and some very special bottles.
And my special guest made the taste even better.

Simply a night to remember

Thanks to Allan and Helle for opening and sharing their home with me and two fantastic bottles, the 1934 & 1935 Niepoort Colheitas. The friendships developed in Denmark were outstanding and Allan is a very serious collector of Niepoort Colheitas and other gems too.

Recent openings:

1980 Magnum of Fonseca VP
1976 Krohn Colheita
1967 Dalva Rui Paula Colheita
50 year old Tawny Port
1952 Dalva Golden White

50 year old Tawny Port?

Thursday Night...what to drink? And not to be compaired to last weeks Niepoorts from 34 and 35.

And old bottle from Wiese & Krohn, with the old IVO selo.
Missing Roy, to tell about the flavour and taste. But a very nice bottle. Maby 60-70 years old.

Cheers to You All

Allan

A Croft Roeda 1967 and some sort of unfortified Port wannabe that said "Lynch Bages 1985" on the label.

Tonight Round 2 of the 10-Year Old Tawny World Cup (or should it be World Glass??) with the fellows

Andresen
Morgado
Niepoort
Noval
Quarles Harris
Quinta da Romaneira
Taylor

The two best form this Round will face off against the two winners of Round 1 (Croft & Portal) plus Ramos Pinto (Bottle from 1st Round was flawed)
