Alex M, Wolfgang, Mike, Jacques Cailloux (one of my bosses) and I met for some mature Port. It was all excellent. Maybe we were a bottle light.

I did send JDAW an email of a photo of the monkey's guess as to what people were bringing. The monkey guessed Quinta do Noval 1950.

I think Alex needs a new Monkey.

I failed to understand that the photo represented the monkey’s guess.

Monkey guesses have to be a plausible effort at garnering points. Insisting on 1881 Van Zeller just isn’t monkeytastic.

A fine evening with great company - good to meet Jacques and Alex M. The theme delivered five excellent ports, and a great advertisement for storing away some LBV for the long run.
