07 port tasting on Lon Island NY (FREE)

Post by differentdave »

I received email from wine shop Stew Leonards in Farmingdale about a upcoming port tasting on Long Island. If anyone is interested I can sweeten the pot as i life within 10 minutes of Stew's and would be more than willing to crack open some port (or maderia or even dare I say nonfortified wines) and serve up some bar- be-cue as well

Hope everyone is doing well, sorry I have not been around the past few months_-_-_- Busy and I was laid off _-_-_-_-_-

Below is info on the tasting

Thanks for the info. I have to teach that evening. Sorry about the layoff. I am facing an impending lay off as well so I know the feeling all too well. We shall drink soon to celebrate whatever newer and greener pastures we shall find.
