I do know Andre very well. He is a great guy and a fantastic promoter for Portuguese wines.
However we should have invited him more to Portforum tastings as this would have changed his list quite a bit, I blieve.
Happy new year to all

Re: The terrible year 2020
Dear Sten, Stefan and Jorgen. Wow, this is a great achievement. I have managed to drink something from 1970 every week and had a champagne sunday every second week, where we had many surprises (just between 4 persons and 2 bottles of champange every time - at least vintage champange). The best thing...

Re: Pre-Christmas Virtual Get Together - 15 Dec
Thanks, everyone. My first link actually got me to teams. Thats why it took me some time to figure out the correct link, but Alex was very helpful as usual. You can see the "Portbeer" here. The one in the middle is actually a blend of German Hefeweizen and Martha's Ruby Port, whereas the two others ...

Hi Guys, could the participants of this tasting with some experience of the wines tell me how the 85 and 70 were from the smaller bottles?
Thanks in advance

Re: Tue 24 November 2020 - A Tasting with Sophia Bergqvist
I’d also be interested to hear from someone who is responsible for a more tawny-centric house. Like the chaps who are running Quinta do Mourão but I don’t think I’ve met any of them. I am currently in line organising something with them. If successful, I will certainly let you know. All best Axel

I think Sophia would be impressed by the lineup we are having in total. Time to get over Covid and have a proper glass of everything in good company.

Re: Tue 24 November 2020 - A Tasting with Sophia Bergqvist
I have a vast range of Sophia's Ports, but think that I will retaste 2011 as no one else does.
Maybe I will "coravin" a glass of 94 afterwards.

Great topic. Had a telefone chat with Ana Rosas today and she also could not explain why there is no 66 RP. It was a tough time for the company, they had to sell certain Quintas and focussed on Tawnies.

Re: Taylor 77 later release?
As they often store the bottles without the label, the newly released bottles might differ a bit. Happened to the 85s. There are differnt versions.

Re: Sparkling Port
I was at a Port fare in 2007 when Croft launched the Pink Port and everyone thought "what is next?". Sparkling Port was a hot candidate at this time. From a business point of view it is vital to swipe the bad dust off the Port's image - make it more female and younger, but keep the good dust, all th...
