We always have the same Xmas dinner every year, the usual turkey, sprouts, spuds, etc and I quite fancied doing something different this year, but when I suggested having a change everyone was very disgruntled and said it wouldn't be a Xmas dinner if it wasn't turkey.  So, turkey it will be! Now, make me jealous and tell me what you're all having... |

Chateau Latour 2009 Meursault Les Perrières 2015 Ch La Tour Blanche 1996 Taylor’s Vintage 2003 Is the port a new (unopened) bottle as I saw a tv prog recently that featured the manager of Taylor's in Porto and he said that the bottle should be finished within three months of opening as thereafter the taste is ruined? |

Never heard of such a thing, a bottle of port being unfinished after opening 🤔😃 |

@ Tim I am not supposed to drink alcohol. Though, I could not resist a swig of Flor da Canna when I opened a bottle for guests.
It is impractical for oh and I to celebrate on Christmas Day this year.
re: manager of Taylor's in Porto.
Seems to me that he could have sales in mind.
