What3Words has assigned a three-word address to every 3m×3m square on the planet. There are some places to drink.

ancient.crusted.port (Alaska);
ancient.vintage.port (Quebec);
good.vintage.port (South Australia);
smooth.crusted.port (Shenyang, China);
smooth.vintage.port (Northwest Territories, Canada);
superb.crusted.port (Illinois);
superb.tawny.port (South Atlantic, between St Helena and Angola);
superb.vintage.port (Baffin Island, Canada);
vintage.port.large (Sweden).

Alas, none of these are particularly convenient to me.

Posted: **12:01 Mon 08 Aug 2022**

Excellent!

Posted: **15:23 Mon 08 Aug 2022**

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

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.

Our spiritual home?

Near Coutts Crossing, New South Wales - likes.vintage.port.

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!

Posted: **19:27 Thu 11 Aug 2022**

vintage.port.decanter (Hyllested, Denmark);
decanter.vintage.port (St Pierre and Miquelon);
vintage.port.decanted (Indian Ocean);
decanted.vintage.port (Pacific Ocean).

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.

Posted: **22:03 Fri 12 Aug 2022**

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.

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

Posted: **13:21 Sat 13 Aug 2022**

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.

Posted: **11:10 Sun 14 Aug 2022**

I am quite enjoying this world tour. Please, more.

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.

Posted: **18:01 Sat 27 Aug 2022**

Somewhere to avoid might be empty.Port.glass

That’s in Utah which, I think, is one of the states with the lowest alcohol consumption and most restrictive laws!

Posted: **06:45 Wed 10 May 2023**

This morning I had to use What3Words to figure out how to get the Spalding Flower Parade on Saturday and, once the job was done, had time for a little play.

port.bottle.empty lies a little south of Canton and north of Cambridge, Ohio, but don’t confuse it with empty.port.bottle which has been carelessly discarded in Yankton, South Dakota.

Posted: **06:51 Wed 10 May 2023**

And rich.fruity.port can be found not too far from Bergen airport, Norway.

Posted: **07:00 Wed 10 May 2023**

But the best one has got to be grabs.tasty.port at the end of one of the pontoons of the Royal Motor Yacht Club in Sandbanks in the UK.

Posted: **20:50 Wed 31 May 2023**

Ghandih has suggested, in Salt Lake City, port.port.port.

Posted: **21:44 Wed 31 May 2023**

I'm just about to go to Canada on holiday starting in Toronto so I might we'll go to ....

///vintage.port.glass

Which is just a little north ....

Posted: **10:13 Thu 01 Jun 2023**

Sadly, delicious.expensive.port can only be found in a remote part of Russia but the good news is that delicious.expensive.ports can all be found in the Amazon Basin.

Perhaps someone would be brave enough to visit the Appalachians in West Virginia and deliver us many.port.bottles?

Posted: **08:11 Sat 06 Jul 2024**

Earlier today I stumbled across cheers.port.people just off I96 in Kansas. There is also a fine.port.magnum to be found just off the coast of Kagawa, Japan or an ancient.port.magnum in Kentucky but the only mature.port.magnum is in Arctic Russia.

Posted: **15:30 Sun 07 Jul 2024**

And rare.magnum.port is not far from Leipzig in Germany.

Posted: **17:51 Sun 07 Jul 2024**

PORT.DECANTER.FOUND near Barrow, Alaska

Posted: **18:45 Sun 07 Jul 2024**

If you go to just south west of Mnt Baldr you can open.vintage.port

which would seam to be a good idea in general ....

Posted: **19:09 Sun 07 Jul 2024**

Near Vancouver, across the Strait of Georgia on Vancouver Island, and very close to Seattle, is much.vintage.port.

Happily, I am unlikely to visit Uzbekistan and so won’t encounter corked.vintage.port.

Posted: **19:13 Sun 07 Jul 2024**

Despite the obvious attractions of abundant.Port.everywhere, I am reluctant to move to the Polish / Belarus border just to the south of the Kaliningrad exclave.

Posted: **19:55 Sun 07 Jul 2024**

Very well ....we all need to go to Baffin island where stunning.vintage.port is available

Perhaps with Cliff's help we can organise a blind tasting !!

Only real problem I can see to this splendid plan is that the average temperature on Baffin island is not ideal for a port evening ....

temperatures range between -29 deg c and +5 deg c on Baffin Island so I imagine a sturdy hat would be in order !

Canada also has the more modest drinkable.vintage.port, and also modest.vintage.port.

Edit: from the first post of this thread:

But why restrict yourself to a single vintage when stunning.vintages.port is available AND particularly nearby for some TPFers.

Perhaps Glenn would be interested to know that perfect.tawny.port can be found in the Atlantic Ocean about 500 miles south-west of Ilhas Cabo Verde.

Or maybe Andy should know that the only place in the world where you can find massive Port stocks is not far from his house in LA — could this be his off-site storage facility?

Rest assured, that’s not my storage facility. Thankfully. Otherwise I’d have to hire more security to fend you lot off

However, one more step takes you to dinners.backyards.seizure.

I think I'll head back to the aforementioned Baffin Island, where after stunning.vintage.port we can also have vintage.port.relax, or with just a short hop across the water for those who prefer to vintage.port.party

You'll need a boat if you love.drink.port because it's in the middle of the Sea of Okhotsk.

Posted: **15:59 Tue 09 Jul 2024**

drink.port.often is near Hokkaido in the Sea of Japan, but drank.port.often is near Greenlees Lodge in Bonnyrigg, Midlothian, south east of Edinburgh.
