so, a bit off topic, how was the contents?

i love a good port, some nice quintas out there, tho i gather they don't do them any more. i spent a week driving around the douro valley with the wife a few years back, sampling when i could

the wife drove then. amazing how steep are the hills they grow the grapes on. they have to wear safety lines to keep from falling when the tend or pick the grapes!

edited: just remembered, it was spring of 1997, so i may have been there when it was bottled!
