For The Love Of Port

A thread on another forum got me thinking, what is the age range of participants here. I know some are sensitive about it, so I kept it in brackets of 10 years (except for the 18-30 years). Just thought it would be nice to know what the break-down of participants is. Thanks

Don't you think you might have expressed this in terms of "what vintage" are you from?

Well, the best Vintage close to my "range" is the 1970.
If this was the case, I would vote for 1970 Vintage Port Year.
(Unfortunately my birth year is Not a good vintage year at all )
...... just kidding ....

That term just sounds so, well...old

Mario,
Don't feel bad, I am in the same boat as you. The closest vintage to my year is 1970 also. Being born in 1973, I don't need to tell you what kinda year that was for port

You guys should feel sorry for me - stuck with 1965 and wedged in between 1963 and 1966 - bummer!!!!

Me as well, but I just take that to mean I can pick either one

Vintage '75 myself...

vintage 67 here

Well, if your vintage year is horrible, you can always call yourself a "Fine 35-year Tawny"...

Jeez, I am a geezer at 49 and fortunately did not have to be alone in the oldest category.

Since I am vintage '71 I have decided to celebrate with my "Conception Year" of '70 ports.

I will admit that I thought the age range would be a bit more on the "older vintage" range. I have been quite suprised at the results.

I thank those that have already voted.

I hope more people that lurk will cast a vote Which can be done without anyone knowing you voted.

Vintage 1978, nevermind for the quality of the Port... at least not all from this year is compromised A few individual have succeded 8)

I'm a '77, my wife is a '80, my father is a '45 and my brother is a '70. Everything fits very well in my own world...! (Like Andy, I am very surprised to see how young people are on this forum, I feel sometimes so young at 29 passionate by Port...)

Vinatge 1960 here. It's a vintage year, but not a great one. Certainly it's better than 1960 Bordeaux!

Vintage 1946 here. I've never heard of any port from that year, but I finally got some 1946 Barbeito malvasia from Patrick Grubb. I enjoyed it to observe my birthday.

Vintage 1960 - like the wine, I am light (since dieting..) and slowly falling apart..

Perhaps we should run another poll with the question "How old do you feel?" - perhaps this would give some insight into the preservative or destructive qualities of our favourite drink
