For The Love Of Port

For those celebrating Father's Day with their children or their fathers, I lift a glass to toast to you and your families!

May your glass (or bottle) of Port be sweet and ready to drink.

Merci Roy
Celebrated with father in law and brothers in law with a Warres 1977 . . .

Luc,

Excellent choice.

It was my old house Port wine for years. Did you enjoy it? It should be pretty close to fully mature by now. Nice wine.

Thanks Roy - yourself as well. Hopefully you let Taylor pick something good from your cellar for you today.

All four of us had some of the purple juice - the kids has a shot glass full of Concord grape juice which they sipped as solemnly and with the same gravity as Dad and Mom, who enjoyed most of the rest of the decanter of 2004 Quinta de Roriz VP, which had been opened yesterday for the June VT. My TN appears in the Virtual Tasting Forum and is almost complete meaning it will then be posted in the Tasting Notes Forum.

Good up front, loads of fruit for about 10 hours, after that, slowly falling down to a fully tannic young beast which makes me want at least a half case for 20-30 years down the road.

Happy Fathers Day to all those with kids! Hell, Happy Day to those that don't have kids! (I'm a non-elitist type of guy!)
