I recently celebrated my anniversary.

I proposed to my wife with a bottle of wine.

What was the vintage?

The vintage was also a declared year in port.

Nope,

here's another clue.

A cannibal was awarded.

close, but I fear the next guess may get the answer.

Glenn E. · Post by **Glenn E.** » 17:17 Mon 14 Sep 2009

The Silence of the Lambs was released in February of 1991, but that means it was not eligible for the Academy Awards until 1992.

Ergo, 1992 is my guess.

FWIW, I don't believe that 1992 is considered a general declaration. Isn't it generally considered a split declaration with 1991?

This past weekend, my mother-in-law gave me something that I have used before in a recipe with Port to make something very delicious.

What did she give me?

g-man · Post by **g-man** » 22:13 Mon 14 Sep 2009

bbq sauce

Glenn E. · Post by **Glenn E.** » 22:34 Mon 14 Sep 2009

BBQ sauce with Port? Um... no.

But I may have to try it now.

Post by **jdaw1** » 23:04 Mon 14 Sep 2009

A fancy mustard?

g-man · Post by **g-man** » 01:44 Tue 15 Sep 2009

meat loaf

Glenn E. · Post by **Glenn E.** » 02:35 Tue 15 Sep 2009

Not mustard, not meatloaf.

I don't know that it is what you'd call a classic pairing with Port, but it is a reasonably common dish prepared with Port. I've seen several different recipes for it and have made one myself. What she gave me is the main ingredient.

Correct! She has a pear tree in her backyard that I never knew about until this year. I've made Port-poached Pears in the past and the recipe is quite good, so I mentioned it to her and she brought me some of this year's harvest.

AHB is up.

KillerB · Post by **KillerB** » 23:33 Tue 15 Sep 2009

I love Pears in Port. I have a pear tree, I have port.

I am envious.

While I am confident that I could have as many pears from my mother-in-law's tree as I would like, that tree is 50 miles away. And sadly, my yard is far too small to support another tree so I cannot simply plant one myself.

The answer might be ‟1989”.

Hmm. Perhaps he is being clever and the question is: "what is the question?"

Post by **Alex Bridgeman** » 23:35 Fri 18 Sep 2009

I've been busy at work or at home doing domestic stuf trying to move the build on.

Simple question, which DRT is not allowed to answer until at least 5 other guesses have been made.

What am I drinking tonight as I write this question?

(Clue - the answer is not, nothing)

Glenn E. · Post by **Glenn E.** » 00:24 Sat 19 Sep 2009

Port!

No. Only have a handful left and don't want to drink them too quickly.

Not tea - although I do drink enough of that. It is an alcoholic beverage.

Whisky?

(I have a great question, to which I don’t yet know the answer. I hope that ‘whisky’ is correct.)

The drink is not whisky and does not contain whisky.

The answer to this question will not just require the generic description of the drink, but more detail than that.

‟” I was about to guess, and then remembered that I can’t. Awaiting others.
