I've been involved over at ftlop.com for a while but just hadn't gotten around to registering here. Now I have!
I was given my first bottle of Port on my 40th birthday and have been drinking and learning ever since. I prefer aged tawnies and colheitas, but I'm starting to like VP as well. I also drink dessert wines, but for whatever reason I have never liked beer or regular wine.
My wife and I spent 4 days in Portugal last year during our 3-week long 20th anniversary vacation, and we liked it so much that we're going back this September with my parents.

Welcome Glenn.
Since you said on FTLOP that you can't see yourself ever opening a bottle from the 1964 vintage, when you manage to drop into the UK and we're around, we will just have to see what we can organise. Maybe we'll get you to taste a port from your birth year yet!

Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Well... I meant just the LAST bottle. I have deliberately ordered as many of the 1964 Noval Colheitas as I can find because as long as I have more in reserve I won't have any problems opening a bottle.AHB wrote:Since you said on FTLOP that you can't see yourself ever opening a bottle from the 1964 vintage, when you manage to drop into the UK and we're around, we will just have to see what we can organise.

When it gets down to that last "bin end" bottle, though... that one will probably sit in my fridge until I die.
