Call of Port

Post by dan s »

Today's (May 1) Wall St Journal includes a magazine supplement. One of the articles is about a port aficionado. It's a short but interesting read.

Great article.

I have had the pleasure to meet Bob and participate in his port and poker night. The cellar is quite impressive with OWC's stacked high. He also has a British style bar built into his carriage house with 4 taps. The majority of the collection is 80-95 and bought on release. He has a lot of the odd ball Single Quintas that are hoot to try.

Robert had emailed me to send me a copy of his article too. He is very proud of it. [cheers.gif]

Fun to read, he is a FTLOP enthusiast and I was happy to introduce Moses to him as I knew Moses was sad to lose Sean in the Boston area and Robert's gang is a fun group of Port lovers.

Definitely check out the article. It is a fun read.
