ah good to know

thanks!

mm the host didnt give you guys the bottle i dropped off???!?

Surprisingly. I actually just arrived in Boston

Unfortunately no time for drinks Moses

Hopefully next time!

dropped off a fun (non port) wine that is somewhat in theme, at least with the restaurant.

enjoy the tasting folks and hope to meet you all next time.

Bottled with the host BTW. Might wanna call and confimr

Miguel

is the reservation under your name?

last minutew ork thing for me

i have to fly out for work for this tasting

if you guys have a place, I can drop the bottle off before hand

Would be great if you could make it. And steak would be great too. I'll keep Lupulo in the back burner for now. What time would you be shooting for? Can you zero in on how many we can be before they run into glassware issues? Looking like $150 food + $100 port... likely at the Palm Tribeca. Earlier...

Friday nights @ 8:30pm might be tough for me because of the kids but I would happily contribute a bottle to the tasting regardless wrt port glasses, i think that's going to be trouble wherever. I do have boxes of the port tasting glasses we all have become accustomed to but as i would be coming from...

I will also admit that I have no Graham's of interestd except the 85

Sorry folks been busy w kids. Give me parameters. How many people. How much we want to spend

I can bring 36 glasses s potentially

Indeed,

I have a few leaky bottles that need to be drunk as it's making the charcuterie in my cellar smell sweeter than it should be!

Now for just time and location =)

Give me a price range people.

Opened by Dave a week before, put into half bottle and sealed into fridge. Ruby hue with hints of purple. A light root spiced nose with hints of crushed cranberries. Smooth pomegranate on the palate giving way to baked sugared cinnamon. A little thin on the palate but finishes with a nice cinnamon b...

those dates look pretty good for me this time around.

we have many options for restaurants if you want to give me price range.

what would be the theme?

I saw reference to it when i was taking my driving course, to reduce my insurance premiums, here in NY.

It was used as an example of the evils of drunk driving.

Anybody ever hear about this house?

ah gotcha.

me thinks my 63' fonseca may be on death row in that case.

Can someone explain to me how 3 people
drinking the same bottle at the same tasting

go from bright red
to warm red
to brick red?

i just came into a few 63' fonseca and am wondering what the appropriate color should be

mmm no one got back to me,

tho i did end up drinking a 77' smith woodhouse, 70' cockburn, 77' dow, 82' taylor lbv, 2011 quevedo vp

=)

if anyboyd wishes to join my holiday drinking, it may be best just to post what day you'd like me to show up.

why, in fact I do! His name would be Louis winthorpe iii.
Odd fellow who has an intense desire for oranges.

Can anyone tell me how many cases were produced?

Also if you guys can do me the favor and tell me how many bottles of such wine you have drunk.

I personally have consumed 18 bottles of F85.

As a side note, would it be possible to corner the market on F85, would such endeavor be worthwhile?

i'll one up this and trade the 98 pt ramos pinto!!

i'm hoping the prices for the F85 do drop =)

where's my truck!!

A telling point.

4 cases in the cellar and counting

but is there really a point to stock up on this port, from the notes i've read on here, that is at best possibly mediocre? Mediocre? Your point system must be very different than mine. I have it at excellent, which is a good 10-15 points higher than mediocre. i'm only reading the notes, not the poi...

i understand the rarity

It'd be like buying a 84' Domaine d Romanee Conti just to say you have it but not really enjoy drinking it.
