re: "port wine"I see the wine referred to simply as "port" but never as "port wine"
e.g. "They open a bottle of fine port after dinner."
That's fine BC! As long as the word "port" is referring to a wine and not a harbor.
Yes - I'll accept that Denise!
Jan wrote: "Yes - I'll accept that Denise!"thank you!
Hi JanI understand you don't want a variation of Retiree(s) but what about the word "pensioner" which means the same thing?
Unfortunately, I'm not going to accept that one Denise. Keep looking!
