Zak - thank you so much for organising the inaugural Portlies Awards night. That was tremendous fun.

If anyone picked up my Awards Glass, please hold on to it until you see me next! I did a Mike..
Top Ports in 2022: Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931. I have never drunk such a wonderful bottle of Port. I cried with joy.

2023: Fonseca 1966. There are not many better Ports.

That was jolly fun. Hurrah! Congratulations to the worthy winners, and thank you to Zak for arranging, and thank you all for some very nice ports. As good a Warre 1970 as I have ever had, a fine Fonseca 63, and I was delighted to make the acquaintance of Graham 60.

A worthy first place for an excellent showing of Fonseca 1963.
