I took a look at the event and decided not to go. I think that $40 for a tasting of 6 wines is pretty expensive. I really don't care about getting the glass, since I've already got about 100 wine glasses.

Actually, I think that is not a bad deal (given the glass is almost $15 if it is the Riedel Vinum Port glass. But it really depends on what is being poured!

I must be blind because I saw no mention of the specifics about the six Ports that will be tasted.

Does anybody know what they are?
