Three-word places to drink Port

Post by jdaw1 »

What3Words has assigned a three-word address to every 3m×3m square on the planet. There are some places to drink.Alas, none of these are particularly convenient to me.

late.bottled.vintage (also Alaska).
another.glass.port (Mexico).
another.pint.port (China).

another.pint.port appears to have an advantage of being in a moderately-accessible place: Qingdao in China...

North of near Cold Lake, Alberta, you might be able to have vintage.port.today but it's so isolated it looks like you might have to bring your own. More locally, you could bring.bottle.port to a field just off the A21 north-west of Tunbridge, in Kent.

That’s almost tempting. Maybe I could rummage around the map, find addresses, from which phone numbers, ask who owns the field, and get permission for a picnic.

Who would be in?

Ideally, with a 10' x 10' blanket for the precise coordinates.

Don't for get to bring an excellent.tawny.port to drink while on your way from Madagascar to Reunion or Mauritius.

North of Kelowna and East of Kamloops in British Columbia is where you decant.vintage.port.

That’s not very far from me. And I think someone else from :tpf: lives in that part of Kent. There’s actually a footpath that goes really close to that point (which is in a field).

I did some reading about What3Words and found out, amongst many things, that its vocabulary is around 40,000 words! The average educated human's vocabulary is roughly half that. That is somewhat mitigated by the fact that What3Words counts plurals as separate words, so "port" and "ports" are used separately, but that only accounts for around 7500 (x2) words in its vocabulary.

What that means is that virtually any 3-word phrase you can come up with is very likely assigned to a 10' x 10' square on the earth. So the challenge is not in finding a 3-word phrase, as they all very likely exist, but rather in finding one that's on land seeing as the globe is 70+% water.

Minor clarification. Tonbridge, not Tunbridge. Although it is also not far from Tunbridge Wells.

Continuing the theme, the address I use for my holiday let is corkscrew.overdone.choice.

Very close indeed (about 6m off the footpath if the footpath map is accurate); and if 3m x 3m is insufficient for us all on bring.bottle.port then with a slightly bigger blanket we could expand into the adjoining tins.dine.having for the picnic. Just under a mile walk from Hildenborough railway station, which seems to be about 30mins by train direct from London Bridge; potentially very doable, especially for someone in London, finding themselves at the B&F at lunchtime wondering what to do for the afternoon before an evening tasting!

Does your magic extend to finding the owner? Permission would be proper.

Placing a pin on the UK gov land registry search map says this field belongs to
Home Farm, Hildenborough Road, Leigh, Tonbridge (TN11 8NA). For an additional £3 the full records including owner name(s) could be obtained if wanted.

We should present it to the owner as a future moneyspinner. He could be the vinous Eavis! Fifty years from now people will be boasting about being there at the beginning, when Dirk Niepoort rocked the Vila Nova stage...

mature.vintage.port is on the bleak Arctic coastline of Russia but love.vintage.port is Saskatchewan, Canada. Canada also have bottled.vintage.port in Manitoba. Not far away (in continental terms, at least) is pass.port.left in Michigan.

But one of the best I have found is happy.port.magnum in Sicily.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

It is pleasing that pass.port.right results in an error message!

Surely the place to mature it is in the Canadian artic, at vintage.port.cave.

(I suspect that “cellar” is too much of a homonym for w3w.)

Perhaps. But full.port storage is near Birmingham, Alabama.

bring.magnum.port would be very viable here if travelling between Portugal and France by car, being located the side of the road alongside a river, just away from the main route near the northern-most point of the Spanish/French border.

A similar theme: bring.pint.port gives us the fairway, just before the green, of the 9th Hole of the 9-Hole public Unicorn Golf Course in Stoneham just outside Boston, Massachusetts. I don’t play golf but isn’t that almost the optimal location for such a event?

I’m sure I’ve said the following words, in the following order, after an involved evening… port.case.many.
