Looking forward to Saturday’s #BlindDrams #BTC63 “Painter’s Palate” hosted by Paul and Naomi.

But of course the drams have nothing to do with Ports.
They were all Port matured or finished!

In a galaxy far far away, Brian picked 5 drams as good as this one for a blind tasting. But the galaxy was far, far away, unfortunately. Score a very well deserved 4.
