| Here's the problem with the Port. A 17 year old Port has plenty of sediment. It was bottle #10 of the evening. Of course the Richebourg went down the drain and two other bottles were 375s, but you get the picture. Somebody poured the Port back in the bottle. What I should have done was to pour out the sediment bearing portion of the wine, give it a rinse, and THEN pour the decanted Port back in the bottle. Sorry. | | | |

| Board-O, I just think we were all just being silly and did not ask for the cheese cloth. Everyone knows how much sediment a vintage port that old can have. Seemed like a good quarter bottle of sediment in the 70 Dow I had awhile back. | | | If you drink wine, you get smarter.... | |

| I've got to be honest here....I didn't care for the port at all.
The nose (and ensuing flavor) of model airplane glue (Estes?) just wouldn't go away. I was envisioning a lush, sweet, delicate dessert wine and got a mouthful of epoxy (good call Jazin!).
Are we sure this bottle wasn't bad? | | | |

| Well, it wasn't bad a day earlier, but it did sit in the decanter for hours before being poured back on the sediment. | | | |

| I thought it was very nice...... I let the sediment settle in my glass and didn't suck any down. | | | If you drink wine, you get smarter.... | |

| Amen! Who are all these folks!? Seriously, a "names" legend would be great. Nice to put a purple smile with a moniker.  | | | |

| OK, let’s see (from left-to-right, top-to-bottom).
2nd picture: The handsome young man, is yours truly. 3rd picture: j.b. standing up, pouring Vino (what else?, iced tea?). 4th picture: Short looking @ a glass of Vino like it’s the end of the world. 5th picture: Yours truly, again, & wife. 6th picture: Yours truly, again, & wife. 7th picture: Ttepper & girlfriend. Cute, isn’t it. Young people in–love, like that. Lovely. 8th picture: armar_one & wife. Lovely also. 9th picture: Jazin & hubby. He is Not stripping, the place was a little warm for him I guess. 10th/11th picture: Ojeffso’s lovely wife & (if anyone does NOT know who that is, no comment…). … A lot of BSing going on, that’s all. 24th/25th: Friends of ours. Lovely couple, aren’t they??? And, it was their 7th year Anniversary. Cute. 26th/27th: More pictures of friends.
And, LAST Picture. skwid mentioned something about the “sediment”. PLEASE, all click on the picture to enlarge it. You will see “sediment” like never before. That was my Glass.
My quote & “quote of the night” on that pic, “I have sediment here up the ying yang (spelling)…” End quote. Everybody dies laughin’. | | | |
