Hi there,
I'm a dutch guy who used to be mainly into whisky, up until an after dinner ferreira 20 in a Portuguese restaurant caught my interest. Since that point friends and I have been drinking Tawny ports like the Graham's/Dow's/Kopke 10/20/30 yo tawnies. And ferreira whenever someone would fly to Portugal.
As it turns out I was born in an awful vintage year, but my wife ('83) and best friend ('77) are luckier. So we started trying to get our hands on these, and we're really enjoying VP as well.
So now I'm reading up on the stuff, and recently found out that a 1991 Dow's Colheita I bought was much better than the Dow's 10 yo Tawny. And cheaper at that. So I have some questions about this entire colheita thing. I'll probably take these to the conversation subforum, if no one objects.
