Because I fancy some port. Only reason. (You see, I always fancy some port. So that reasons hold true every time I open a bottle. Supplementary reasons include the wife fancying port, a port tasting, or just because I fancy some port. It’s really that easy.)

Nine in ten are VP.

It is an excellent avatar.
• It speaks of you and yours;
• It is stylish; and
• It is not so loud or moving as to distract a reader from the text.
Well done.

I would rather it were slightly narrower, but that would lose resolution so I’m not doing any of my usual grumbles.

Please could we have a photo or two?

No. Use Paint or like software to make your own avatar. Something that speaks distinctively of you or yours, rather than a child’s rendering of an explosion in a flag factory.

Suggesting decanting into micro-decanters, holding one glass each. Perhaps the technique would be to decant directly into twenty-odd glasses, and … (stop me when this gets silly, like, perhaps, now)

Multiple teachers would have ‟teachers’ heads” (unless many teachers were sharing a single head). Let’s not go there.

I bought a case of this in New York, and have not had as strong an experience as have you. Alas.

In my limited experience Taylor 1983 is Taylor’s worst declaration since the war (unless they declared 1975?); and Taylor 1983 is the worst 1983 of the major houses. I am not a fan.

Ahh, a true American, rather than someone living in a beer-free country. Welcome.

Hasn’t changed. At least, not as of the notification of your reply.

Having rather enjoyed the Ramos Pinto at my 1985 horizontal in March , I bought Soho Wines ’ entire stock, that being a mere three bottles, for the trifling sum of $55 each. http://www.jdawiseman.com/ftlop/20070623-rp85-bottle.jpg Cork extracted easily with screwpull.

I wasn’t criticising; merely suggesting.

And every time an admin does change a post, a line must be left on that post: “Edited by name-of-admin on date to remove something-that-describes-the-offence†.

Custom placemats As some users of this BB already know, at jdawiseman.com/papers/placemat/placemat.html is some free software, open-source as well, that makes elegant placemats for use in a port tasting (or the like). Clearly labelled placemats really do help avoid confusion later in the evening. T...

I think admin is a person. post-alert@… would be my preference.

1. Reply notifications currently come from what appears to be Alex K’s real human email address. They should actually come from something that doesn’t mention a human’s name.

Nacional 1962, Nacional 1980, and Nacional 1985 were tasted in a further celebration of the birth of my first child, Sophia Wiseman . Present were myself and the missus, and friends BAW ODM TZ SGO'S and RO'S; the first of these bringing some fines cheeses. All were decanted at about 3pm through musl...
