Alan, I can assure you the Tour is not going anywhere. Its survived almost a 100 years thus far, and this is just the typical media trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. However, there is a bit of good news with some of these recent doping scandels. It is showing that the sport is commited t...

Scary, but a funny vid. thanks Alan

Very logical, IM trying to move up too

It is very sad in one way, but good in another. It does show the sport is very serious about cleaning itself up. Just a few years ago no one person would have been thrown out for missing an out of competition test..let alone whole teams as this year. So it is nice to see the heads of the UCI, the To...

It will be interesting to see where Port prices go. I was talking to the owner of one of the biggest wine stores in California and he said he has been sitting on tons of Port becuase the prices have gone up to fast, just like the French wines. He also said he didn't see the Port market in the US get...

KillerB, that sounded like a really fun trip

I must say, i tried really hard to get some days off work to make this. I figured it would be a fun surprise to show up with some bottles. I really do want to meet you guys in person and have some fun. But work had other ideas since I am already taking time off work in October. Have no fear, plan &q...

Let me look...(all prices are in pounds)

1970 Dow's 2.30

1955 Graham's .95

Sucklings book "Vintage Port" was my source and lists many of the wines original release price.

If you want to know anymore, just let me know and I'll look them up.

Hey I just noticed, I'm now a Cockburns Ruby, yeehaa!!

Alan, that ol' '97 Vau is a decent bottle at that price. I've got a couple 1/2 bottles left. I've never been let down by this QPR.

thanks Alan.

1994 Niepoort Colheita (b. 2005) I've had numerous bottles of this and it remains my favorite young Colheita. I opened this yesterday at the end of a wine dinner for a few who wanted to try it. As I finish the remains tonight, I now realize my original assesment last night was correct. This is an o...

Ohh why not, after all this Saturday is Port and P.B.

YEEHAA, Shall I call your local hospital to be ready.....just in case

Yeah thats the place.

I double dog dare you

Ohh come on, I dare you

Alex,

Hope you're having some good fun in SA. I've had a basic tawny from DeKrans (if I spelled it right). A very good tawny and one that had I had it blind would never have thought it was from a country other than Portugal. The Klein Constance was also very tasty and one I'd buy again.

You mean the guy that soccer (err, football) team down the street from me paid WAY too much $$$ for? I think he played all of like 12 minutes the other day cause he gots an ouchie


Yes he is now a Soccerer

BTW, its called SOCCER

where is that stiring-the-pot emoticon

My condolences to your loss Derek. But we all have a beginning AND an end, such is life. A shame you're loved one didn't make it into adulthood. I shall keep you in my thoughts and prayers

I wish I could easily fly over, but budget and work say otherwise. but I do plan on getting over there sometime in the near future to meet everyone, have some great laughs, and share some Ports. Have a good time guys.

Yeah, I'm there too...and I just got out of the torture room. DOn't fear, I did snitch on anyone, but I did admit to drinking a very young 2006 Vintage Port
