Thanksgiving, what are you opening?

[Andy Velebil]

With Thanksgiving just hours away, what do you plan to open for turkey day? Any special Ports or Portuguese wines?

I wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving

[Peter W. Meek]

Ferreira 20 and
Taylor-Fladgate 20 plus
maybe one of my last bottles of Nimrod.

[Eric Menchen]

Circumstances have led us to a small celebration. I'm thinking something with barrel age, maybe a Quevedo reserve tawny or colheita.

[SEAN C.]

Going to try the 1987 Kopke Colheita!

[Roy Hersh]

3 Burgs, an Iniskillin Ice Wine and two Ports: 1941 and 1951 Kopke Colheita.

Moet Brut Imperial - Better than I thought it would be. Nice jump up from White Star for sure

1997 Diamond Creek Red Rock Terrace - Those who say DC wines started to drop off around then are missing out on a stellar bottle. Wow, was that bottle something else. 4 hours decanted and was like heaven for Cab Sav. Port like along cherry notes that reminded me of a mature Burg. Really impressed.

Kirkland 10 Year Tawny - Blened by TFP. I don't it's the same blend as when it first came out a few years ago. Still rocks for the money.

HM Borges 10 year malmsey
1933 Justino Henriques malmsey
2005 Weins Prum Wehlener Sonnenuhr spatlese

[Glenn E.]

1960 Croft and 1960 Taylor. Opened a Porto Rocha Glorious 50th Anniversary on Tuesday night, and might open a 1938 Kopke Colheita later this week of the Croft and Taylor don't last long enough.

[Andy Velebil]

Even though I took a number of bottles, my uncle wouldn't let me open any. Instead he opened a 2002 Chateau St. Jean Reserve Chardonney and a 2003 Robert Mondovi Oakville, the later which was drinking very well. I'm home now and I cracked open a NV Quevedo Special Reserve Tawny Port.

[Eric Menchen]

1996 Quevedo Colheita. Yummy and great QPR from the FTLOP buy.

My wife's "pretend" cousin and her family are coming over at around dinner time, tonight. I am planning to open a 1985 Dow's since she seems to prefer Vintages.

If anyone has recommended decant times, I would appreciate the advice. Otherwise, I will shoot for about 6 hours.

As long a decant time as you can wait. Heck, this vintage can go 24 hours decanting.

[Kurt Wieneke]

I opened 1976 Warre's Colheita later after we got home.

[Cynthia J]

I skipped the turkey and went straight for the pies - Graham's 20 Year Old Tawny with both apple pie and pumpkin pie. Very nice, and more than adequate recompense for burning my hand on the oven door!

[Peter W. Meek]

Well, we went through 22 bottles, unfortunately, none of them Portuguese, and thus of no interest whatsoever to this forum.
