For The Love Of Port

That's a fine looking butt, Moses. I've smoked a lot of butts, but have never done the beans underneath. My smoker has a side-mounted firebox, so it doesn't develop the heat under the smoking chamber required to finish the beans. I bet they're delicious with the juices from the butt dripping on them...

Thanks, Roy.

I thought the email that Roy sent out said the tour dates for 2009 tours were all set...

I can't find them posted anywhere?

Andy,
This was a great find. I'm going to go back, perhaps today, and see if they replenished their stock, since I bought the only bottle on the shelf.

Jim

Andy,
I just picked up a bottle of this today, will likely sample it this weekend.
It's my first Colheita, as I'd never heard the term before discovering FTLOP..

Can't wait,

Jim

It's on Cambridge Street, just South of the East Coast Grill.

The food is excellent and I would consider it authentic.

Ok...first, let me say that this is not a "premium" wine... :roll: We had dinner last night in Cambridge, Ma. before going to see Robin Williams. We discoverd a small restaurant there that I mentioned before, Casa Portugal. We had dinner there, and ordered an inexpensive bottle of wine for...

Actually, as far as shipping goes, we had some good news here in the Commonwealth yesterday that Moses posted regarding shipping into the state. The court struck down the law that prohibited that, so hopefully things will change for us in the near future.

Madeira is something I have absolutely no knowledge of...

New Hampshire has the Ramos-Pinto Adriano Douro R for $13.99/bottle, and the Ramos-Pinto 30yr tawny for $99.

No listing for the Especial...

Jim

Moses,
I'd be interested in a case...probably the Reserva, unless the Especial was just TOO good to pass up :)
I may pick up a bottle today, if I can find it locally, just to sample...

Hi everyone, I'm Jim and live in Central Massachusetts, just a bit East of Worcester. I was introduced to port about 5yrs ago by an evil friend that was looking for an accomplice, and after the first taste, I was pretty much hooked. My wife and I had been drinking red wines for approx. 20yrs. Don't ...

I was in Hopkinton Wine the other day...hadn't been in there for quite some time, and they had a reasonable selection of ports, much better than the NH liqour store up on 95 heading into Portsmouth. I buy a lot of wine up at that store, but I've found that many times I can beat there prices with som...

Moses, I live about 30miles west of boston. Just found this forum, glad I did :) Do you have some suggestions for good places to shop for wines/ports? Out in Westboro is Julio's, but they have a so-so selection of wines, and a less than so-so selection of ports. Btw, have you been to Casa Portugal i...

I googled it, and it looks like the other bottles are going for $1899/bottle, so I'd say that's a pretty good deal.
