Port Fatigue or Wifely Pressure?
Port Fatigue or Wifely Pressure?
Isn't it strange that almost every time there is a very large tasting involving lots of the most active members here, the following 48 hours feel like a ghost town with tummble-weed rolling across
Do we suffer from port fatigue or are most people off earning more brownie points to cash in for their next off-line pass from the wife?
*As the only member with a wife who is also a member but who has never attended an off-line, jdaw1 is excused from answering this question.

I generally suffer from a bit of Port fatigue after a tasting, and also a bit of forum fatigue because I feel guilty posting if I haven't posted my TNs yet.

Oh, and to answer your question.... I think it's a bit of recovery after major tastings. Like running a marathon, you don't want to run for a few days after. You just want to sit on the couch with a cold beer, a sandwich, and the remote control

Or, in my case, I just haven't the chance to spend time doing anything other than work or sleep since the Vesuvio offline.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
