Happiness is thinking that the Nacional 1967 in my wine fridge belongs to AHB only to find out last night that it doesn't and it belongs to me

First, there is a saying..."what happens in the Douro, stays in the Douro." No need to say anymore about that one!
Second...Yeah, make Moses come to the Douro. He needs to stop putting it off

...opening a bottle of specially chosen port the day before your birthday so it can sit in the decanter for 24 hours before you drink it at its peak only to find it is irrestistable and half the decanter has gone.
