Hello from the Netherlands
Posted: 15:53 Sun 28 Aug 2016
After reading quite a lot on this forum I thought it would be nice to register and maybe even contribute something once and awhile.
My name is Monique Heinemans, I live in the very south of the Netherlands, work in healthcare, I'm in my fifties and I do have a small spot for Vintage Port. Unfortunately my parents didn't drink nor leave me any nice wine or port, so when I drank my first (I think it was a Colheita) port some 15 years ago I was blown away. Since then I've been reading a lot about port. Also I have been trying to build up a nice cellar, but am still working on that... It's not that easy in the Netherlands to fill back a cellar without going bankrupt
I hope to learn more and even maybe contribute sometimes, but please keep in mind that I'm Dutch. English isn't my motherlanguage, so I'll probably make some writing errors here and there.
