One possibility is that all my port could travel with me. Another is that some of it forms the core of some tastings, here in the new world under its new President(-to-be). Possible themes include:
1977 Horizontal:
Warre;
Taylor;
Fonseca;
Quinta do Cachão;
Smith Woodhouse;
Niepoort;
Ferreira.

Are any folks around here willing to help with the drinking? ! What dates work, excluding the last weekend of January and the first ten days of February?

You say that as if it is a problem...
I would enjoy a 1977 horizontal and will be in NYC from Feb 25st through March 1st. (New York City, between Feb 25 and Mar 1, 2009) Friday, Feb 27th would be an ideal date for a tasting for me!
I have several 1977s that I could choose from for this tasting. I have the Dow, Fonseca, Royal Oporto, Taylor, and Warre VPs as well as a Porto Rocha Colheita.
Since JDAW already has the Fonseca,Taylor, and Warre that leaves me with the Dow and Royal Oporto as my options unless the rest of the attendees would like to try the Rocha Colheita. Any of them would be fine with me.
I don't think a decision on the date has been made yet. I'm hoping for Friday, February 27th as that's the weekend I'm in NYC and available to participate.

Let's do that.
Target date for this tasting: Friday, February 27
EDIT -- We're changing this date.

JoshDrinksPort Port wine should perhaps be added -- A Trollope
If we drink it, won't that make it significantly more difficult for him to put it aside?
Should we start a new thread to discuss the theme for this specific date? I think this thread is more suitably used to find a date for this specific theme.

Go for it. As i mentioned in the four months in ny, even a dinner with a few bottles of VP would be fun.
