October's virtual tasting selection

I think that after a Vintage from the ruby family of port, it would be time for the Colheita, a vintage from the tawny family.
Now I know this is not widely available around every country, so if you could post what is available around your shop maybe we could decide a specific topic before going for Colheita at large.

I took a break from the forum for a while, but I'm back!
Colheita is a nice choice. Might I suggest we try a 1994 Colheita? Being a young one, it should be available from several producers. At least over here I can find at least 5 different ones. Your thoughts?

I can probably get a Dow's. October for me a few other participants of this forum will be busy in tastings, I don't know when I'll taste it but I'll do my best.
I think a Colheita from 1994 is a good idea.
Any others input?

I'm not (yet) a convert to the world of colheita's. I'd love to take part in a colheita offline as part my conversion and a '94 theme sounds a good one.
As Fred says, October will be a busy month for me and - if I can't easily find a '94 colheita - then I may miss out this month.
But I'd love to take part as I am a big fan of the '94 vintage and would be very interested to see how the colheitas from that year compare to the vintage ports.

October will be a busy month for me too, but once I return from the trip I will see what I can find around me from 1994.

Alex/Andy,
Perhaps Roy and Mario will arrange to have us served a 94 Colheita next week
