For my iphone i downloaded the free version of TapaTalk, an app which makes reading and reacting (pro-version) on forums a lot easier. A few day's ago fortheloveofport made their forum available under TapaTalk. Are there any plans @ ThePortForum.com to do the same? (Would be great!)

On Flickr i found an incredible photostream from Christian Gollnick. Enjoy! http://www.flickr.com/photos/31194388@N00/

Hi Derek, Thanks for your reaction. No i haven't been there. If you know where i can find this cellar (quinta, lodge) please let me know. It will be one of the first places to visit when i am in the Douro area. I found the image on the net while collecting information about Niepoort and was strucked...

Hi Ronald,

Thanks for your invitation. Sounds great. Please keep me informed about the offline activities. By the way Ton Overmars (http://www.tonovermars.nl/port.html) is just around the corner, so i'll never have to arrive empty-handed at a tasting.
