Loads of brown sugar and molasses on the nose. disjointed to start but as we started drinking some more, this wine started coming together. started disgusting muddy brown color. with a thin sweet ice tea flavor Best wine with english cheddar creating a beautiful blend of honey nuttiness that was jus...

reddish and slightly cloudy, smell out of the bottle had some funk (cork?) but it blew off and turned into one of the best wines of teh flight. initially I had it as a "soapy" nose with a slight woody undertone. a nutty musty nose with a bitter tobacco finish that ends in a tart twist. Aft...

wine wise,

79 montrose,
82 second house of figeac
98 dom perignon

but i got a bunch of tv shirts and sweaters to tie me through the cold winter.

I was eyeing the plaid style shirt that alex wears, but steph vetoed me.

ah well =)

Yes it is the palm on the west side,
Shall we pick this as the location for our colheita tasting?

If you guys want a steakhouse, I know one of the general manager, bartender and waiter at the Palm on 50th and 8th.

But it's just a suggestion, it does get quite pricey food wise but they'll wave the corkage fee for me.

feb 13 is also highly likely for me ..

feb 14th ... is very suspect with my boss =) I too shall broach the topic in a roundabout sort of way.

early to drink, early to bed, and hopefully early to rise =).

There is always openings available for the upcoming tastings =)

i hear the british pound is quite strong now.

the cost of coming to the states for a port tasting should be insignificant to you guys in london =)

It’s not yet DEFCON 1, perhaps nearer DEFCON 3. Time? First day, Wed 26th, is undecanted, so we’ll start that process at 6½pm. Second day, Thu 27th, is decanted, so 7pm? But will we have enough bottles for two days? We have: Warre 1985 (JDAW); Ramos Pinto 1985 (JDAW); Graham 1985 (RSH adopting); Do...

Very likely Yay.

i'm gonna change one of the fonseca and put in an offley 68 that i found today. kinda curious on what this port is like !

I'm probably going to bring 3 bottles Jay

Dow 85' and Infantado 85' or a Fonseca 85' that can be up for adoption if need be. Send me PM if you're interested.

Its great to see you Posting. Let’s not get into Capitalisation Crimes — life is just too short. the issue lies with the fact that there are two shift keys. at times my brain just can't decide which pinky finger should hit which shift key and it goes unstruck. The times I do capitalize is when bot...

we're all in the same boat here =)

welcome to the boards and hopefully will be seeing you at our ny offlines.

Definitely,

I'm going to see if i can find a Dow 85' and Infantado 85' over the weekend.

I personally can chip in a Fonseca 85' that i have on hand right now.

I'll adopt

The Moreira 66
The Delaforce 79

One of which is Julian's for our upcoming tasting in Jan.

First time trying a colheita and I must say I was impressed. This was at the restaurant and I got it by the glass, the bottle was already half gone and asking the waiter that it was open two days previously. Hot on the nose but a very sweet delicate slight burnt sugar/caramel. Tastes of orange zest,...

74 Quinta do Noval Colheita.

yes, both days do indeed work for me. I'm going to be driving around long island and going to see if i can find any good wine stores in the area. Shall we set the 27th as a firm date for Julian, Eric, Jay and me? Julian we can have another mini on the 26th? What do you think about doing a tasting of...

Done. Let me track down an 85, we can have a mini horizontals of 85s.

How's the 26th and/or the 27th?

I can attest that after getting drunk on 2 bottles of red, 2 bottles of champagne, 3 pints and a bottle of grahams 83 ..

that the hang over seems to correlate with how much i drink as oppose to what I drink =)

I'd like to say the representation of the turducken is quite
poultretic

If you can't eat it all. don't eat at all

I had this 3 Xmas nights ago (not counting the one coming up) at a steakhouse with a few friends.

Was the old wine society labels.

Burnt sugar, very delicate wine that was drinking well then too.

Good to see it holding up still.
