Hi Tyler, I’m not sure about being the funniest – your compatriot Doug Frost MW is very funny indeed – in every sense of the word LOL
Keep up the fight against the anti-bloggers who, it appears to me, are no different in what they do to most bloggers.

James is right about the ‘baggage’ of sherry…it must be the most misunderstood wine style in the world at the moment. A clean slate is probably a good thing in this case.

Ha, yes, it was Dublin-based Dermot Nolan, Master of Wine who said it! Not sure you were willing to go on the record for such raunch, Dermot, so good that you stopped by to clear things up!

I should add that Dermot is also the Most Humorous Master of Wine I’ve met so perhaps his title should be MHMW.

Lickoffable? Who on earth would say such a thing? And was Kerri Thompson really scared?

I don’t mind the renaming as much, but then I’m newer to the field than others. I could understand if there’s a lot of sentiment and emotional charge regarding the name “port.” For me, I welcome the change. I’m with Mr. Godfrey when I say it’s a chance to start with a clean slate and make it mean something on your own.
