Short Interview with Adrian Bridge
A rather short interview, but a few bits of trivia many may not know.

Re: Port in a Coffee Mug
Interesting that it's imported from England, not Portugal. I don’t see a Selo on the bottle. Perhaps exported from PT in bulk and bottled there, then shipped over? I thought that became illegal? Good catch. Just saw the 1973. Perhaps the UK importer forwarded into and UK sounds better than saying i...

Re: Port in a Coffee Mug
I've wandered around cruise ships drinking Tawny Port out of an opaque coffee mug. You're not supposed to drink your own alcohol outside of your room, but no one suspects a cup of coffee no matter the time of day. :lol: On a ship they generally don't care. Everyone has a drink, so walking around wi...

TN: 2019 Quevedo Family Mos Vineyard Douro
50% Tempranillo 50% Touriga Franca. Black stone fruit, tar, medium tannins with a bitterness on the mid and back palate. Overall, light/medium complexities with some noticeable, but not obtrusive, heat from the 15% listed ABV. A medium length finish rounds it out. I think this is only available from...

It’s regarding CellarTracker not FTLOP so our helpdesk, as good as they are, can’t help.Roy Hersh wrote:Well that’s a bummer. Wonder why they didn’t?
A simple link to the help desk, would have been great.

Re: Tappit Hen vs. Tregnum
Glenn,
The neck shape doesn't have anything to do with a traditional TH. It's the very top of it. That large overgrown rounded bulb. Also, the old ones were handmade and were not always exactly the same volume. They ranged from about 2L to 2.3L, if memory serves me.

The Tappit Hen vs. Tregnum, the photo showed of the Graham's 2021 Stone Terraces is the former. Learn the difference between these two shaped Port bottles, as written in the blog of Berry Bros. & Rudd: https://blog.bbr.com/2021/11/29/the-tappit-hen-insights-from-bbx/?fbclid=IwAR1dzAlm84dWAOY9xK...

Re: Decanting time for 1900 Niepoort Colheita
I've had this one and the VV with several hours of decanting and it was stunning. So I don't think you would go wrong with a few hours of air.

Re: Naked Wines - Quevedo wine/Port sale
If you’re a first time customer send me a PM. I just got a number of $100 off vouchers for first time customers. Min purchase of $169.99 required. But $100 off is a good savings.

Re: What have you opened this week?
Yeah, you need to use a Durand or Ah-So for any wine cork from the latter 1990’s to the early 2000’s. Otherwise be prepared for a million tiny pieces. No clue what the cork industry did to them back then. They seal fine. But getting them out is messy. I haven't experienced this problem with any pro...

Re: What have you opened this week?
1994 Quinta do Vesuvio. Decanted for 12 hours. The cork exploded into a bazillion pieces but the Port is in great shape. Dark purple, no meniscus and it's ever so slightly syrupy. Simply delicious and I suspect it will drink even better tomorrow. Edit: This bottle has been a revelation. I've had th...

Re: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1966
Yes was able to see pics. Thanks. Definitely sounds like an off bottle. It should be Dark, youthful and not as advanced as what your described.

Re: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1966
While it has been a bit since the last time I had this, I recall it being very dark colored and youthful still. Sounds like your bottle was very advanced, possible bad cork or not stored well at some point.

Hey, that looks like my New Year's Bottle! 2023-12-31 13.25.51.jpg This is very weird. I just got my Port shipped to me from storage. I didn't want to tear through all of the boxes looking for the "perfect" Port so I opened my 1994 Vesuvio footlocker and have one standing up. Enjoy, hopef...
