Am I allowed an honourable mention for Barriss Offley? Thought not.

She certainly fought in the Krohn Wars.

If one drinks enough, a visit to the facilities can be necessary. This true even of recently-acquired Symington brands, and vintages barely a dozen years old. Don’t be surprised, otherwise it could be a C03 pee — oh!

Presumably, to become a Jedi Knight, Yoda took a Vau?

Vesuvio Falcon. She isn't much to look at but she can make the jump to light speed in three parsecs.

The Krohn Warres, surely (though essentially already covered), where they arrived in a Cruz-er?

If you need a smuggler, I know a guy. His name is Han Selo and his ship is the Messias Falcon. He's done the Kopke run in 12 Portals!

I seem to remember seeing or drinking a Quinta del Rey in a galaxy far, far away but cannot find any TNs.

Can anyone else remember that?

Is "del" a Portuguese word in that context? I don't recognize it, but my Portuguese is pretty limited.

I can't find an example of it so you are probably correct.

We drank a Quinta do Rey 1960 at Tom's 50th birthday, although that was from The Sound of Music and not from Star Wars.
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!

Well remembered, although it was Quinta do Rei, not Quinta do Rey. I am please that I wasn't just hallucinating.
