Never a brute, but can somehow just keep going and going. Their tawny's are among my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC, there is a great story, which i am sure you have probably heard, about how she was travelling down the douro in one of those fabulous rabelo boats (my last trip to oporto, i got an invite to be in one for the annual race but my flights were locked in and i could not stay the extra few days sadly - always wanted a go in one). it was a dangerous journey back then. apparently the boat flipped in rapids and almost everyone on board drowned. dona ferreira and a couple of the other women on board survived because they were wearing those voluminous dresses of the era that kept them afloat. and upright. the sight of 2-3 women in colourful huge dresses floating down the douro must have been something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt45 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Fan of this producer. Nice density wonderfully balanced with acidity and tannin. Juicy but not overtly fruity. Love it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoIsHere Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Pretty hectic week! I haven't been able to relax, a break away to smoke a stogie in two weeks. Well I'm ending this week with Knob Creek 2001 Limited. This might call for a Luisitania. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampDelta369 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I wasn’t going to touch this case for a year. Well it was a couple weeks? Very similar to my young CC declarations.. Truth is I like the youngness of this wine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick.Skayuna Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 A smile of fortune from a schramms mead I’ve been putting off opening for a few weeks since getting for whatever reason. Now that I’m having the first few sips I’m very glad I got it (even tho it was a very expensive ~$50 for the 375ml bottle). Nice subtle berry hints and phenomenal all around taste Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampDelta369 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Cooling down tonight I hopes. Trying to help things along. This Albariño is all out Granny Smith apples with some dirty slate from @Ken Gargett front door step. Ok, I’ve overstated it again. Delicious summer Quaffing white.
