I think that after a Vintage from the ruby family of port, it would be time for the Colheita, a vintage from the tawny family.
Now I know this is not widely available around every country, so if you could post what is available around your shop maybe we could decide a specific topic before going for Colheita at large.

I'm not (yet) a convert to the world of colheita's. I'd love to take part in a colheita offline as part my conversion and a '94 theme sounds a good one.
As Fred says, October will be a busy month for me and - if I can't easily find a '94 colheita - then I may miss out this month.
But I'd love to take part as I am a big fan of the '94 vintage and would be very interested to see how the colheitas from that year compare to the vintage ports.

October will be a busy month for me too, but once I return from the trip I will see what I can find around me from 1994.
