For The Love Of Port

1st time since 2006 that I've celebrated father's day without port ...
Hopefully this is a temporary setback

I did not either---too darn hot and humid.

I finished off a bottle of 1968 Krohn Colheita. It was overcast and cool here in the Seattle area, so perfect Port weather!

What is this blasphemy.... Any day is perfect Port weather

Having grown up in NE Nebraska, I can say with confidence that some weather is not suitable for anything at all, including Port. MAYBE a cold beer, if you like beer. But I found that even a cold Coke doesn't help much in 114-degree weather! (I was a lifeguard so was able to cool off in the pool periodically, but still... even drinking cool water isn't all that satisfying in temperatures over 110 degrees.)

I think we hit 102 yesterday with another 4-5 days to follow. I thought briefly of a White port and tonic, but decided on a Bear Republic 00 Pilsner instead. I was going to smoke some ribs, but made a Chicken Ceaser Salad instead. Sparkling Limeade was the drink of choice by then.
