The Wine Thread

[mosesbotbol]

Guess it's time to post something, Gabe215 motivated me. A couple of nights ago (Saturday) we did two 1977 Vintage Ports; '77 Taylor and '77 Fonseca. 1977 is a bit a odds. Widely heralded as great vintage, but in reality is just an average vintage IMO.

Perhaps a discussion on the vintage should be another thread, but '77 is hardly '70 or '66.
I rated the Taylor at 93 points and funny enough that I rated 93 points 6 years ago! A friend keeps notes on what we drank and looked up our prior review. The Fonseca I think I gave 91 points.

I drink plenty of it, but i have the palette of a goat and drink 8$-12$ bottles of Cabernet, Pinot, and Malbec and $15-$20 bottles of Chianti. So while I enjoy reading this thread, I don't have much of substance to contribute.
