I would like to extend my warmest welcomes to the newest member of the EPTT, Lillian Petherbridge. Her embrace of port is unmatched, and in less than six months she has tasted vintages that took Lamont and I three years to taste. The EPTT was founded on a friendship and built upon the philosophy that cellared vintage port will be popped at special times during our lives. A port in the cellar increases not only in monetary value, but also in sentimental value. The 1985 Graham's tasted by the EPTT in December 2006 was worth more to us than the retail value because Lamont had cellared the wine for 10 years. Great ports are more than just great wines, they are celebrations of great occasions, how very large or small those may be. Thus, I welcome you, Lillian, to the EPTT and hope your tastings and collection continue to grow.
Best Regards,
Bill Livingston, PhD
