I thought I was becoming a bit of an anorak when I started marking my wines.
It then become a tad sad when i started keeping a wine diary.
We now plan at least a couple of our holidays each year around wine.
I have done more wine courses now than anything related to my profession.
And last night I sat down and done a kind of "Top Ten" charting my wines of the year and even gave them little medals in my wine book!
Where does it end?

We are the Happy Sad Club.
We mark our wines. We keep wine diaries. We post tasting notes. We go on wine holidays. We attend wine courses.
And worst of all - we post on port forums and are proud!

Luckily our wives don’t post what they think of us. At least, most of them don’t post that here.

Re: How Sad can you Get?
is it significant that there are so few female posters? Does that speak to port and masculinity or the geekiness of blogging and masculinity?
It may be drivel, but it's not meaningless.

No, or at least in my case it speaks of wife having a responsible job, and a machine that blocks these kinds of sites from her computer (and a general dislike from her side to spend evenings on a computer, something I find difficult to understand).Overtired and emotional wrote:is it significant that there are so few female posters?
