Nothing to add just want to be included on this thread, starting to dabble in the wine world!

Other forums I frequent, pictures can be hosted within the forum itself; much easier for me.

Enjoying some 2010 Bodegas Breca Garnacha. Great bottle tonight, loads of cherry, jolly rancher type strawberry, some coffee/chocolate flavors as well. Chewy and dark/ripe. New world style with that candy sweetness, but the finish is fresh and rounds out the wine. Thinking of getting a case.

This thread needs pictures!

Was looking through pictures I have on photobucket, but I can't find any recent wine pictures. Stumbled on this one from this summer at a local restaurant. Not a bad line up for a mid-week dinner!

Here's one more a Port night over the summer. Haven't been drinking as much port as I use to.

1904 Cockburn and 1957 Fonseca. Both were really great ports from not so big vintages. We used tongs on the 1908 Cockburn to preserve the cork. Can't remember if the that cork was branded, but I think it was.

Good lord, those are some old bottles.

Awesome stuff Moses! Thanks for sharing.

GreekGodX · 01-09-2014, 07:22 PM

My go to since September has been Groth Cabarnet.

mosesbotbol · 01-09-2014, 09:17 PM

Here's a nice picture of a port night I had in Scottsdale a few weeks ago. We smoked Sancho Sancho's and something else too... I think it was an '01 Punch RS that was out of this world...

Back to the wine.

1985 Niepoort - great wine, but not one of the best of that vintage
1985 Fonseca - one of the greatest vintage ports since 1970
1963 Graham's - classic vintage that is drinking pretty darn nice right now, '63 is a solid vintage in general

Felixcigar · 01-27-2014, 01:41 PM

I enjoyed a bottle of Oberon Cabernet recently: very nice.

The very first port I've had was a Fonseca '85. It was amazing! I've never had a finer port since.

Most never will; '85 Fonseca is one of the greatest post War ports.

I've been enjoying Terra d'Oro Zinfandel Port (http://terradorowinery.com/zinfandel-port.php). It pairs wonderfully with a cigar!

Had 1971 Ch. Montrose last night. Holding up quite well.

Gabe215 · 04-18-2014, 04:35 PM

Just bought my first Port, Taylor Fladgate 10 year Tawney bottled in '12, off research. Also how long does Port stay good for after opening I have a stopper with a pump to take air out? I've heard different things online and would like your guys advice, if you don't want to clog up the thread with advice you can PM me! Thanks everyone!

6-8 weeks should be fine.
For me, it never lasts more than a few days to a week.
