I was busy this week, here is my second summarization of an outstanding tasting (now I will make a summer brake). Please excuse my very bad englisch, but I think most of you will understand it better than my not all that bad german. I´m proudly present, the video of this unique tasting (some partici...

Dear Port friends, at 22nd of September Oscar Quevedo and me will do an interesting tasting in Sao Joao de Pesqueira (Douro region, Portugal) at Quevedos winery. Oscar Quevedo does kindly provide the location and a BBQ. The topic is LBV versus Vintage Port , older than the year 2000. Especially from...

Dear participants, I would like to inform you, that I will record a video of this monumental tasting (as I always have done when tasting like this happen :D ). So if anyone of you have something really important to say about this tasting generally, about the Vintage 1945 or a curios story about &quo...

Dear Gents,

my new video is released. I visited Vargellas twice to take records and fotos of Vargellas and did an interview with Mr. David Guimaraens about this outstanding estate. The result of this work can be watched at my YouTube channel:

Excellent. Thank you.

thanks for this positive feedback, it motivates me a lot for future videos that there are some people out there interested in stuff like this

I was in the Douro for one week during this "funky" harvest. I talked to many winemakers, like Dirk Niepoort, David Guimaraens or Alzira Carvalho. I didn´t get that anyone was deeply depressed :crying: , fortunately the majority of good grapes was picked before the rain, maybe it won´t be ...

During my visit at Vesuvio last year, I recorded a video interwview about the history and style of Vesuvio with Dominic Symington.

The result, including some stunning views from the vineyards is now published at YouTube:

I started a new video series about famous Port Wine Quintas in the Douro. Episode #1 starts with a video about the stunning beauty in Douro Superior - Vale Meao. I visited the Quinta a few times and spoke in last September with the sympathetic, renowned and innovative gentleman Vito Olazabal about h...

Thank you Christopher and worldofport, and thank you Luisa... thanks for reply and the positive statements. it makes my work a little bit more pleasant, if I know that there some people out in the world who like my videos. 88) at moment there is no plan to transcribe it, however this is a good idea...

It is always the best to ask an expert. Relating to harvest report, I think an enologist is a very good source. :D I talked in february to Luisa Borges, from Soc. Roncao Pequeno (their Port wine trademark is Vieira de Sousa) about her opinion to 2013 and her meaning if there will appear Vintage Port...

Congratulations Eus! very goog work indeed!

very interesiting evening, that gives a quiet good overview about Cockburns Vintage Ports. even I expected I was very disappointed about the quality of the wines from 80´s and 90´s, the most of them were a shame for a Vintage Port. Normally 94 is on par, but our bottle was mediocre, due to a reaso...

nearly the same result as at an 83 horizontal in september in Sao Joao de Pesqueira. Wine of the night was Gould Campball, 2nd Niepoort and 3rd Taylor, normally Dow, Warre, Graham and Ramos Pinto are also on par, but not outstanding. Cockburn is said to be very good, if you have a good bottle. but I...

fantastic event, it was a great pleasure to be there!

this is so that you don´t go asleep by watching the video :D to be serious, when I produced the video, I hear the sound maybe a thousand times, and adjust it to be consistent. and when I watch the original file at my PC it is consistent. but that is only the first part, after uploading it via YouTu...

In February this year World of Port held a fantastic tasting of 20 different Ports of the year 1963 in Leverkusen (Germany). Among the 16 participants were also honoured guest Nick Delaforce , who was interviewed for the video summarisation of this event, who is published now: http://www.youtube.com...

I recently purchased a 12 bottles case of this seldom wine. Yesterday I opend the first bottle, what was external not in good condition. Capsule was damaged, filling was top shoulder and it seem with signs of seepage. But the opening was a big surprise. The cork was in good condition and the content...

VIDEO: winemaker statements about VP 2011 I talked to 5 prominent winemakers of the Douro region and asked them about their opinion about the Vintage Port of 2011 and summarize this in a short video. The video is uploaded at my YouTube Channel and can be found by the link below. John Graham from Ch...

In February Axel Probst and myself visited again the worth seeing lodge of Porto KROHN, one of the few still existing portuguese family port producers. Krohn is specialised in Colheita and Tawny Ports and they have some very old Ports (e.g. 1863, 1865) still in casks (pipes). I record a round trip o...

1985 defeated 1983. Even though several of the same-shipper comparisons were close, everybody thought that the younger vintage beat the elder by four-to-one or five-to-zero. As my birthyear is 1983 I took a particular interest in this vintage over the last few years. I even did several comparing ta...

I´m sure that there many wines with 96-100 points, that the most normal wine drinkes do not like very much. I think the problem is the attitude, that many wine buyers don´t ask themself "what wine I like really" the ask only "what wine has a good rate". Its funny, if I´m right...
