Re: Latest buy

Thats great info! thanks :) My kid is not even 2 yo so I'll be sipping it on another occasion then :) Looking forward to open it. Ps- did you need to use port thongs or was the cork perfectly fine? If you're looking for 1984 Ports in particular, keep an eye out for the Graham's Malvedos. It's quite...

Re: Latest buy

Finally! I found a bottle of 1984 Vintage Port from Messias on Auction.
Hopefully I will be able to open it with my son when he is old enough and taste the harvest of 1984. Any one already had this vintage?

Port Wine Cocktails

Hey whats up. Last weekend, I had the opportunity to serve 110 Port Wine Cocktails. I thought the winner of our 3 options would be the famous Portonic, but guess what?

FTR, I was born in 1931. And also in 1927.
Lol. I am from the unknown year of '84 myself. No luck there with the exception here and there.
But from what I remember, taylors 1970 was a good year to be born too.

I entered here under the name of Vinhodoporto, currently run by my old partner - Jasper.
I was the co-owner of www.vinhodoporto.nl from 2013-2016. I believe that account is now used by Jasper.
