What is the last name of Rolf and Dirk?

Post by jdaw1 »

According to Village Restaurant in New York’s Greenwich Village, the last name of Rolf and Dirk is “Nierpoort†. I have seen other listings with a single o.

Have you noticed other variations? Or odd spellings of other houses? Share here.

Which is a beautiful Dutch name. 88)

On the website of Garrafeira Nacional they are very consequent in spelling Fonseca Guimaraens as Fonseca Guimarães (a lovely city in the north of Portugal).

Someone here used to use Neipoort until he remembered the "i before e except after c" rule - I'm not telling you who it was, but it definately wasn't KillerB :roll:

Or even a finite possibility.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
