Re: Understanding the IVDP
I wouldn't say the organization is explained in detail. What is explained is how they taste Ports and Douro wines. And while it sounds glamorous, it has to be tiring day after day of tasting ![DuckNcover [foilhat.gif]](./images/smilies/foilhat.gif)

Re: Understanding the IVDP
Makes you wonder , why they do it , day after day.
After all , it's just a job

Luc,
They do it, so that everyone here has some Port to drink that we can hold up to a higher standard. I for one, am very glad that the IVDP and their tasting panel team, both exist. I know you were joking around.![Toast [cheers.gif]](./images/smilies/cheers.gif)
