Re: Port House abbreviations
I slightly prefer "DoB" aesthetically, but am convinced by Phil's argument for differentiation from Dow Bomfim. So I vote "DrB" also. Ditto. Which is a majority. It seems that the majority prefer: Ud = O-Port-Unidade = O-Pᴏʀᴛ-Uɴɪᴅᴀᴅᴇ ChR = Churchill Quinta do Rio DrB = Douro Boys Axel , Mike , and ...

Re: Port House abbreviations
No objection to DoB from me. I say neither worse nor better than DrB. Others?

Re: Software that makes placemats
I’ve decided that the code should exist in a proper repository, to allow submission and discussion of issues , to allow others to contribute to the PostScript , and for better death-proofing. Hence ∃ github.com/jdaw1/placemat . Two issues ask a question of GitHub experts ( Software licence ; Documen...

OPO - OPORTUNIDADE On 04 Jan 2016 ( review , placemats ) “Ud” was used for Unidade . It seems much more sensible to emphasise the part of the name that isn’t “Porto”. http://www.jdawiseman.com/2016/20160104_Ud13.png ChR - Churchill Quinta do Rio Works for me.

Re: RE: Re: 2021 Virtual Tasting #1 - Thursday 14th Jan?
Based on my experience while tasting several 2015 LBVs before Christmas, yes. I felt that the 2015 Graham LBV was best on the second day. It was served pop-and-pour on the first night which may have contributed to the second day showing better. Ergo, I would decant it for at least 4 hours - full-on...

Re: Pointless Statistics
Julian never ask a lady her age, a farmer his/her acreage and a port nerd his/her bottle total! Having said that I salute you, 418 is dead on, I reckon the Magnum total gives it away. Using only the quoted data, two decimal places of percentages was enough to narrow it down for ‘small’ bottle quant...

Re: Dow's 1983 Vintage Port
Hello. The right sale price for the Dow 1983 is circa £30. Alas the ’80s was not a good decade for the Niepoort.
The best course is probably to give them to a local friend or relation.
I realise that this might not be the news for which you were hoping.

Re: Empty box for a Graham's SH61
Empty boxes are wanted by collectors for a good purpose. Empty boxes are also wanted by less good people for less good purposes. Please say something about yourself, independently verifiable, that could re-assure us that you and your purpose are good.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Re: TPF pre-NYE party 29th December 2020
Is the theme to open something good, or something from a challenging year like the 75'? We might turn away JDAW if so The theme is usally "Open a bottle of Port you're going to enjoy drinking since you won't be able to share it with anyone." That reasoning is strange. Surely if I am going to share ...
