Thanks g-man et al, that gives me enough material to work with. BTW, just for the record, the other tables are named after the more straightforward houses of: Taylor's;Dow;Graham's;Noval;Fonseca and Sandeman! Oh and my location is Hampshire, UK.
Just polishing off that 2004 Quevedo LBV as I type!

Quinta do Quevedo
This may be one for G-Man to provide some input, but having put together some wording to accompany the other port-named tables at my upcoming wedding (which reflect the Port miniatures I managed to purchase on my recent trip to Porto), I now need some wording for Quevedo. I think I was paying more a...

Re: Porto in Feb
After a bit of detective work (or more precisely following the the penned line on the map drawn by the lady on hotel reception!) I can confirm that the name of that lovely homespun restaurant was Adega Sao Nicolau. Great food, great wine and great value! Phew- I can now move away from Cruz Ruby!

Re: Porto in Feb
Ok, a brief update on our trip to Porto the other week. In terms of accommodation, would highly recommend the pousada-the Palacio Do Freixo, a wonderfully converted old civil building with plenty of character. It's about a 1/2hr walk (on the airport side) along the river to the Ribeira quayside (but...

Re: How long to decant?
Not a response but the same question only with regards to a 1945 Taylor's VP I'm planning to open at my forthcomimg nuptials next month-similar decant time or longer?

Re: Porto in Feb
Yes, I realise I should have posed the questions a bit earlier but hopefully there's still time until we go on Thursday pm to garner a few more responses. However, yours is pretty comprehensive and so thanks. Staying this time at the relatively new Pousada-the Palacio Do Freixo-really wanted the Yea...

Porto in Feb
Off to Porto this Thurs, 4th time for me but first for my better half. Aside from Vinologia and the Solar vdp, anyone got any other suggestions re Port drinking holes? And what about eating establishments-been a few years since I last went but I remember Chez Lapin being good (obviously, the Yeatman...

Re: Latest buy
Three bottles of graham's 97 at (a surely mispriced) £29.95 apiece!
Also two of those Offleys 30 years from Aldi (as mentioned elsewhere) at £38 each

New Joinerand question!
Not sure why it's taken me this long to happen across this forum (I clearly wasn't looking hard enough!) but have a been a port lover for a number of years. However, to judge from the knowledge level of posters on this site I am but a schoolboy-which is why I would welcome some thoughts or advice on...

Noval 63
Niepoort 94 (H/B)x5
The Noval was under £100 and so I considered this a good deal-unless someone informs me otherwise!
