If the NYT writers are not available. do you know LIsa Granik? She is an MW and lives in Park Slope. She is also the most highly requested lecturer where I study wine. She is a very smart no nonsense lady.

Kevin:

A belated welcome to the forum. Have lots of fun learning more about Port!

Oh I definitely can help!

I also have reason to celebrate. I passed those 2 wine exams I took early November (one on sparkling wine, the other on fortified wine).

Hello.

I am all set for Fri 2/13 and can attend. Jay, I believe you set a $ amount for me to bring to chip in. Just let me know please.

Hello. I am still free for Fri 2/13 but if called in to work that Friday evening, I have to go in. So far they haven't called me in but I just need to wait until next Thurs. to check and if still not called in, I could come Fri. I realize you wanted to do a final count on who is coming for sure. In ...

What time does this begin?

Hi there. Can you count me in please for Fri Feb 13. In the mean time, please know that I am on an on-call list for work for that same time frame. If I were to need to come in to work, I would know about it a week ahead of time. (IOW, count me in but if I have to work, I will give notice if I can't ...

Sorry I won't be in town.

I would be interested in splitting the cost of this one with you depending on when this tasting takes place. Is there a date set for this tasting?

Hi. Is there a date set for this tasting yet? I am free beginning the 2nd week of January. I could either purchase or adopt a bottle in this case.

I am OK with the above dates listed except for Jan 3.

Welcome to The Port Forum!

I am free on the 17th and 24th but not on those first 2 Saturdays of January.

I would also like to add baked apples as another aroma and flavor I got from this port.

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?

Weekends generally work best for me. Right now, Mon/Tues?Wed evenings work but not Thurs/Fri. I do not have my mid-week schedule yet for next term. I am very interested in knowing once the date is set for jdaw's tastings. Meanwhile, see you Nov 22nd!

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

The dog in the picture !!!!!

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

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

Sorry I have to pass on Nov 7. By the time I can get there after teaching my class (10PM ish) it would make more sense for me to come to the next one that is going on Sat Nov 22.

Cheers!

Please count me in for Sat. Nov 22. Just got home from taking those 2 wine exams today. They threw in a White Port in the blind tasting.

Thank you. So far I have learned that in blind tasting Madeira against Sherry Oloroso and port is that aged Madeira has a slight green tinge at the edge of the glass which does not exist in the other 2.

Has anyone recently tasted a flight of Madeiras (or a combination of people) tasted as follows: [different ways they are labeled] Finest Reserve (5 year old) Special Reserve (10 year old) Extra reserve (15 year old) Vintage or Dry Medium-dry medium-sweet Varietal (Sercial, verdelho, bual, malmsey) A...

I found out about this originally through the Wine Spectator forum.
