NYC Port Tasting: February (Specifics TBD)

[Chris Doty]

TPF Crew,

I have recently realized that a number of colleagues are starting to develop an interest in vintage port. I am eager to encourage and nurture this development, and am planning on organizing a port tasting at NorthSquare in February to help complete the indoctrination.

No theme yet, but probably a mix of vintages and houses (e.g., if there are 12 guests, there might be 2 bottles each from 6 vintages). This way, every taster, experienced or not would be able to get a great feel for a range of cellar-worthy ports (by age, price, producer, etc).

So far, I'd guess we'll have:

1) Chris
2) Terry
3) Greg
4) Malda
5) Justin
6) Caryn
7) David

Who's with me?

A potential line up, for instance, could be:

1966
Warre
Quinta do Noval

1970
Croft
Gould Campbell

1977
Smith Woodhouse
Taylor

1980
Graham
Dow

1985
Fonseca
Graham

1994
Vesuvio
Niepoort

depending on the date (Wife's bday) and potential travel plans

i might be able to join you.

We could do a symington vs TFP by vintage side by side.

or in cases of split vintages, have like hte 91 dow's vs the 92 fonseca

oh and let me know if you need the contact for norths sq
