no, we'll be sitting around drinking with our video cameras on.

I will be drinking tomorrow evening but probably will not be able to get online to do so. If that changes I'll get whatever info I need from g-man to join you.

Unfortunately, Skype isn't working over here (it seems I need to make a new account, for reasons unknown to me), so I won't be online on Skype.

I will however, be online over here, and I will be opening a Quevedo Colheita 1992 (the 2009 bottling) in a couple of minutes! :D :660000:

I can't get access to Skype since I don't have the Skype app loaded on my phone - but I am toasting our anniversary with a glass of Quinta do Noval 2011.

Happy anniversary everyone!

X-Atlantic contact made - cheers Jeff!

V96 is very green and vegetal - surprisingly herby and fresh. Comparing notes, we discovered that V91 was similar. this was a good tasting - learned a lot about port and drinking stateside. See you in NYC, Jeff.
