NYC Port Tasting: February (Specifics TBD)
Posted: 20:07 Mon 23 Jan 2012
TPF Crew,
I have recently realized that a number of colleagues are starting to develop an interest in vintage port. I am eager to encourage and nurture this development, and am planning on organizing a port tasting at NorthSquare in February to help complete the indoctrination.
No theme yet, but probably a mix of vintages and houses (e.g., if there are 12 guests, there might be 2 bottles each from 6 vintages). This way, every taster, experienced or not would be able to get a great feel for a range of cellar-worthy ports (by age, price, producer, etc).
So far, I'd guess we'll have:
1) Chris
2) Terry
3) Greg
4) Malda
5) Justin
6) Caryn
7) David
Who's with me?
A potential line up, for instance, could be:
1966
Warre
Quinta do Noval
1970
Croft
Gould Campbell
1977
Smith Woodhouse
Taylor
1980
Graham
Dow
1985
Fonseca
Graham
1994
Vesuvio
Niepoort
