Hi all. I am new to this forum and very new to Port in general. I already want to say thank you to everyone who makes this site so user friendly and full of information.
I have smoked fine cigars for years and had a friend bring out some Port wine one time that seemed to pair pretty nicely. I then had my first bottle of vintage juice and that was it. I'm hooked. I have liked alcohol very much and already can tell the Ports that have that alcohol bite are not for me. I have so many questions, but I am trying to read all the past topics to avoid asking what has already been answered.
Thanks again everyone. This forum seems like a great place.

Yes, I really hope that Ann continues to post. She is from Kenya and I've never heard of anyone else from that country drinking Port. Very impressive and I hope we get to know more about Ann and her passion for Port! [welcome.gif]
