congratz on your exam and hope you passed.

To all attendees, would you be so kind as to choose one of the royal oporto bottles to pick up for this tasting?

G-Man, I ordered the '76 Colheita from that link you provided above. See you on the 22nd.

I would love to come but will be out of town that weekend.

We shall drink with you in spirit Jay,

Thank you John.

Anybody want to split the 53' with me?

When we arrive at your apartment. will your dog bite?

what dog?

G-man’s wife is no dog.

I thought he was talking about me =)

Standard British slang: usually applied to women.

The dog in the picture !!!!!

That is Portus the portly dog who enjoys a glass of two of port.

You might see him after a few bottles.

After a few glasses I probably won't even notice the difference.

Another happy coincidence -- I have a major kungfu event that day but I believe it will end by 5 at the latest. With any luck that would make it possible for me to be in the city in the evening Are you looking for adopters or new bottles? (I have no royal, but could go looking)

adopters actually, but it'll be in my apartment in queens. I've actually are spoken for on the 4 bottles of colheitas, but chipping in for the price is always nice or finding a year we dont have is just as good.

roughly 7, come early come later, I shall be around this time and on time. Always looking forward to meeting good company.

http://www.shopritewines.com/vsku1047599.html here's a 75 royal oporto for 65$ , but I'm happy skipping it as there will be plenty of other old reds and whites to taste that night.

G-man: sorry, but my licence doesn’t extend to that evening.

Royal Oporto Colheitas and tawny.

53 colheita - 125$ - Jeff
74 colheita - 54$ - Different Dave
76 colheita - 50$ - JohninNYC
77 colheita - 50$ - Josh
10 yr old Tawny - Jeff

tpf members to be drunk with in spirit: Jay and Julian

Jeff -- you've got a few too many bottles assigned to yourself, can I adopt that 77? Probably easier than getting out to Chester or up to Newburgh (where the 75 is lurking).

looking forward to having you over.

HI y'all. I have reached a brief moment of intellectual challenge. When someone says "adopt" a wine, does it mean that someone else owns the bottle but just that the person adopting the bottle is paying the owner of that bottle for it to be his/her wine contribution for that evening?

Don't worry, I had to ask the same thing before the Old & Odd last week.

Yes, you are exactly correct.
