In general can you say that a Port can be closed between the ages of 10 and 15 yrs of age .
Since some SQVP's achieve a certain maturity at 10 yrs , does that mean they are closed earlier ?

Perfect! We can start drinking at 8pm, and we should be on the verge of singing at 2217hrs. Or at least in hot debate... If we go with the WLBV95 Virtual Tasting theme we will each be singing in our own homes. How will we keep in tune? What do we sing ? There aren't many WLBV'S in Montréal . If I s...

It is nevertheless officially considered a 'Nation' though, is it not? On top of being considered as a province somewhat more alienated than the others, and for obvious reasons. Officialy the Canadian government recognised Québec as a nation in '07 . But this was more of a political move than a goo...

Why blow $100.00 CDN on a 30 yr old Tawny ( have only had one ) , when I can enjoy the decanting and developping of a VP for the same price . . .
