Anyone reading this is invited! It's always great to have more Port lovers attend.

I sent you an email on here about a month ago inviting you to this. I never heard back.

We're having a tasting Nov. 21 in Central NJ which will be all VP's from 1970. You're welcome to attend, shoot me an email and I can fill you in. [cheers.gif]
