Re: Fake whisky
Fake whiskies are a huge problem - I would never buy old Macallan's from someone I don't trust - and even then only with max caution.
I do know Claudio (Bernasconi), the owner myself. He is a really passionate and generous guy. As he handled the case speaks for it self.

Re: The right order
Oh dear... thank you very much for the placemats! Listen to you I will - they will be poured at once. Bare with me with the tasting Notes, I'll try but I might struggle. :-) What is that cross for - any specific meaning or just a space holder? @Andy: It has been bottled in 1999 - so 39y old. @JacobH...

Re: The right order
Thank you guys for your replies! When we have a Whisky tasting, we always start with a "tongue opener" dram - a light with no more than 46% ABV. As this might also work with Port, I tend to go with the SQVP - as I as well expect it to be the weaker one, or I pour them both and decide from ...

The right order
Its me again.. A good friend comes by this weekend. So I made a little line-up of some Ports we'll try. As I am not yet that experienced - my question is about the order of them. Is there a particular order how to try them? I've prepared 6 bottles: - Taylor VP 1955 - Eira Velha VP 1982 - Dalva Presi...

Re: Laying tawny down?
I do have some very old (bottled long time ago) bottles of Tawny - I will lay down the newer bottles or the ones without t-stoppers and observe them reguarly.

Laying tawny down?
Hi all
Due to shortage of space for standing bottles in my wine cabinet I was wondering if I can lie down some of the Tawny bottles as well?
Is there any disadvantage for the Port?

Del

Re: Hello
Thank you!
No, I don't have any - still on the voyage. My best so far were a Barros Vintage from 1978, Grahams Vintage 1970, Amandio White Colheita from 1945 and a Grahams Colheita from 1870. I've had way more Colheitas/Aged Ports than Vintages.

Hello
Hello together I'm a swiss guy who started to dive into Port about 6 month ago. Since then a whole new world has been revealed to me. Lucky as I am, I've met a friend who has good knowledge an even better sources for real Port treasures. Exept Port, I am in love with Whisky (Scotch for 95%) for many...
