Today we celebrated Port Wine Day with a very nice old Tawny port. The bottle was one of very few bottles remaining from the great collection of Henry Cabot Lodge. There is no sign of the producer or age, but when sold at Sotheby’s more than 25 years ago they informed that the wine should originate from the 1870’s.
Sten, one of the authors on vintageport.se have been celebrating September 10th with port wine every year since 1976, the year he fell in love with the wonderful enjoyment port wine brings.
His celebration on this day is due to his birthday, this year celebrated for 75 years. We all hope you will have a nice glass of Vintage Port that day.
Celebration of the Port Wine Day is also celebrated on September 10th on the day when its designation of origin was created, in 1756.
We celebrated the Port Wine Day with our families with two rarely seen vintages from Quinta de Vargellas, 1972 and 1976. Both are actually very good and they are peaking now. If we have to choose one that was slightly better it would be the 1976. You can read our tasting notes here.
Saturday, September 10, is the official Port Wine Day. September 10 is also the day the Douro demarcation was declared by the Marquis of Pombal in 1756. See www.portwineday.pt for more info about the day and also find out about events held. Also be sure to have a glass of Port with family and friends to celebrate the day.
