Indian Port Tasting?

Post by DRT »

If anyone happens to be in:

Chennai (Madras), India on 19th or 20th or 23rd March or
Mumbai (Bombay), India on 21st or 22nd March or
Emirates Lounge in Dubai on 16th and 23rd March

...please let me know and we may be able to have our first Middle-east and Indian Sub-continent off-lines. 88)

Guilty as charged of Laodiceanism, indifference, unconcern, passiveness. I attend only if it is convenient, if the weather is nice, and if there are no special programs on television.

Does that mean I pay only lip service?

Yes.

If I can haul my arse all the way to Chennai why can't you? It's just not cricket.

Make sure you buy and try a bottle of each of each of the Goan Red and White ports which are available in India. Goa has a long and rich Portuguese heritage and it shows in their production of indigenous port-style wines.
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!
