Yes, but too late.

From the Wine Society catalogue of September 1950.

Please post comments on the corks in Corks: Oporto versus London.

Glenn is still up.

Er... I seem to be without a question. I'll ponder one this afternoon and will ask it this evening provided someone doesn't step in with their own question first.

I'll accept Glenn's challenge as the runner up to the last question, and submit my own question before he does.

How many different bottles (or half bottles or magnums) of port have I drunk from so far during 2009?

I do like the friendliness of this thread, coupled with its light competitiveness. Truly what matters is the taking part rather than the winning.

Years is ≈200 days old. You’ve drunk port on ≈150 of those. Ten of those days have been tasting days, scoring an average of ≈15 each: that’s 150 towards the total. On the other ≈140 port days you’ve had ≈one, which you’ve had on average ≈three times this year, so that adds a very precise 46⅔.

196? Yikes that’s not small.

Indeed, that is not a small number. Nevertheless, it is too small to be correct.

Damn: I should have rounded to nearest rather than rounding down.

Too many! Sorry Glenn, and you probably had a question ready too.

Tell you what - I've just opened, decanted and tasted another bottle this evening.

So you're right - Glenn's up.

Yes, I made sure to think of a question this time around just in case.

I plan to open a 1992 Graham's Malvedos Vintage Port tonight. Since I don't drink as much as pretty much everyone else here, I can usually only have one bottle open at a time. Which means I just finished a bottle that I'd been working on for most of a week... what was it?

Correct category of Port, wrong producer, wrong age (lumping vintage and indication of age into one category)

AHB wrote:Graham 1985 - well, we can dream

Wrong category, wrong producer, wrong age.

Both yummy guesses, though!
