my name is Vicky and I am in Northamton UK!
I am an EX bar manager who worked for Scottish and Newcastle, but today I just work from home as a part time travel agent!
Oh and I absolutly love Port!!
(I know the Bishop very well)
My preferred Port is a lovely Tawny, but at the moment I have been indulging in white Port, Porto Calem which is absolutly beautiful when chilled!!!
Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Have fun

Hi and welcome. If you feel like an excuse to drink port and talk rubbish on the web, I am today celebrating the birth of my first child - 5.48am this morning.
In celebration I am proposing a virtual tasting - grab any bottle and log on to TPF! I should be back from the hospital and online about 8.30pm!
Personally I am drinking a 1970 Burmester Colheita - it is the year of my birth and a port style I have never tried before.
Enjoy TPF!

Not especially: ’67 was declared by Cockburn, Krohn, Martinez, Noval, Nacional, Rebello Valente, Royal Oporto, Sandeman, and some houses’ second names. Better than ’68 though.

Unfortunately not
- there are some 1967 VPs but not many and none of them are particularly special.

Welcome Vicky, nice to have you on here and I see you've got started posting - excellent. Have fun around here, nobody bites (unless you count Julian's occasional {cough!} pedantry). Look forward to meeting you when you turn up at a tasting.

Don't worry Vicky, I have the same problem with 1964. In a way, it makes it more satisfying to finally track down a bottle and acquire it!
Welcome!
