Fortified Friday

Post by Axel P »

I do not know why none of us came up with this topic, but Ilkka, an extremely good guy from Finnland did: Its fortified friday today! What is not to like on this. He is promoting port now and needs some help with comments, so lets celebrate:

PS: I know Ilkka from last years Essencia do Vinho with Ray and yes here it goes again: Go there. Next year will be from Feb 16th to 19th at the Palacio da Bolsa in Porto.

Let it be known, Axel, that while entirely unpremeditated, the NY-TPF crew is hosting a tasting tonight in celebration of Fortified Friday!

Tom - every Friday?

I like fortified Friday, but equally enjoy fortified firsday too. And it would be entirely unfair on the other days of the week to leave them cold. How about fortified day? :-)

And my old company had a group of about 20 who would celebrate "Thirsty Thursday" although not with port.

:shock:

I think 4 bottles of an evening might have taken me somewhere beyond "fortified"
