Happy Birthday

Post by Alex Bridgeman »

Happy Birthday to anyone whose birthday might just happen to be tomorrow :wink:

Enjoy the trip to Berry's, those of you who are going. I expect to hear all about it when I catch up with you all on Wednesday.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

No, 'tis not I, although one might be confused into thinking so.

Correct Form For Beginners
One celebrates one’s fortieth birthday with dinner at Quinta do Noval, or one politely allows the day to pass without mention.

Although an exception to this rule is made if one has drunk one's birthyear Nacional at the Quinta.

Alas the only birth-year Noval I have had at the Quinta was a Colheita. Very fine, but lacking the rareness and hence smugness of the Nacional.

A big clue is to look at the Birthdays notification at the bottom of the front page.

Thanks Alex, I intend to have fun.
Port is basically a red drink
