When the guy that showed up to fix your cable comes up from the basement and says "I see you've got an infestation down there." and he's not talking about termites.

... when asked a specific question about Port, you go on for five minutes with a complete rundown before you finally catch the glazed-over look in the eyes of your fellow participant in the "conversation."

Any time... You should check out the Angus Barn's port and madeira selection if you are not already a regular! They have several bottles at retail or less prices going back to the early 20th Century.

I was working out of Raleigh for almost 2 years (until Covid) and went to AB almost weekly. Not to mention a great list of Portuguese dry wines.

Moses, I love Boston and would love to just lay eyes on your incredible collection!

As for the Angus Barn, I hope that you are back here in Raleigh for work after COVID. I would love to meet you there and share a bottle or two (and a fine steak, too). [cheers.gif]

If you make it to Boston, give me a PM ahead of time.

Angus Barn lets you take unfinished wine home.
