About that Fortified Wine...

...in a minute. I just finished tasting a 60-year-old (the port, not Lorenço, who's lovely).

Breathe.

Shit. Lorenço just poured a single vintage '68 called a Colheita. I've had old US ports--the difference here is this didn't come out of the barrel until last year. Unreal.

Where was I? Don't know...Porto, former capital of the country named after something sensible like a dessert wine. Or an aperitif--there's dry, white port, too. We had that before dinner. Then I ate half a roasted lamb and some amazing potatoes. And saltcod and potato fritters. I think carrots and collards were involved. I vaguely recall Karen eating some cheese and maybe a fish while VH1 played videos from the '80s and the...oh, it doesn't matter.

Where is Lorenço?

Sounds like another terrific day "On the Road with Michael and Karen." You should do a travel documentary. You could get all your expenses paid.
