Re: 1977 Vintage port - help
Welcome to :tpf: Helen! I think that KillerB has summarized it for you very nicely. If I were you I would look for a Fonseca or a Taylor, because if you can find one of those in your price range they are the very best that the vintage has to offer. You will need some luck, though. Failing that, I wo...

Re: 2007 Illinois Frontenac Port
Is that a reference to the naming as "port" or based on experience? I did post this in "Other Wines" and only quoted what is on the label! :wink: I've never had that particular port, but I've had numerous US-made ports and the ones that can be called "perfectly drinkable&qu...

Re: Oz Clarke & SQVP
The above quote got me thinking. I cannot find an official definition of what constitutes an SQVP. Does such a rule exist? I don't think it does. SQVP is not a formal category, it's just one that we Port geeks use. As far as I know, all VP goes through the exact same process whether the final label...

Re: ACPT Port Tasting, NYC, 2/26/2010
I'm fine with one of our prior locations as well - Nick & Stef's or Uncle Jack's. Those were both great as far as I'm concerned... I was more worried about getting the right number of bottles for the number of people (or vice versa) than the actual where part of the equation.

Re: ACPT Port Tasting, NYC, 2/26/2010
Well it seems that our best bet is to go with what we have, plus a 1963. Adding a 1955 would be nice if one can be located in the US, but going younger than 1977 doesn't seem to be advisable based on the TNs that I've read. Even 1977 seems to be pushing it, but since you already have one we might as...

Re: 1970 Sandeman
Sounds like a lackluster showing. Had had this vintage many times in bottle and magnum format. Probably the last great Sandeman until '94. That doesn't bode well for our plan to hold a sandeman vertical... Our vertical is currently 1960-1977 isn't it? So we're not off by much... I think we'll be fi...

Re: MaryAnne Wiseman (SCP-DFF)
Plus washing the decanter and glass! Sixteen. Not to mention that 5 glasses of port is your "five-a-day" on the fruit-n-veg front. Now here is a thought: Ferreira 1830 has a distinctly green hue. If you drink that with a slab of beef does that count as having "greens"? Obviously...

Re: ACPT Port Tasting, NYC, 2/26/2010
I'm not that familiar with Sandeman, but just at first glance it seems like we should have a '63, too. I'll do some TN reading and see what's available at reasonable prices.

6 x 2007 Porto Rocha Vintage Port for $48/bottle.
Of the 25-ish 2007s that I've tried, I have the Porto Rocha tied for 3rd in the vintage. $48/bottle is a steal, especially in the US.

Re: daylight savings time
It appears that the servers have not switched off of daylight savings time. Either that or I'm required to change some setting in my profile twice a year, which seems needlessly fiddly. Which is it? The latter. TPF is set to GMT which changes at a different time from USA, so you have to chage your ...

Re: October 2010 - A Diagonal Repeated
In my mind, Taylor and Fonseca are the heavyweights from TFP while Graham and Dow are the heavyweights from SFE. Croft and Warre are excellent, but just not on the same level as the other four. Vesuvio is its own beast, but with time will likely be considered a heavyweight.

Re: Latest buy
2 x 1983 Cockburn for $85 each.
That's a great price (in the US) for a pristine bottle of such a highly rated Port.
That's an outrageous price if corked.
Current odds seem to hover around 50:50.

Re: A choice: T70 or KL70
Knowing that you just recently had a KL70, and also knowing that it will be fine for many more years, I voted for the T70.
No need to exhaust your supply of KL70 just yet, especially since it is a bit of an oddity that might be more fun to share.
