Hi Chris - welcome to Carpokes!

Two great pastimes - wine and Porsches - can't go wrong with either of those! Several of us here are also veterans - it's always good to have another in our midst.

Pics would be most welcome and they are a breeze to post on Carpokes. Here's Tom's photo posting guideline should you find it necessary:

Also, Carpokes has an excellent sub-forum - The O.K. Corral - for fun things not necessarily Porsche related, such as the Pet thread, Garage thread and a whole lot more. It would be a good place to start a wine thread if you get the urge. I know there are many here who might like hear from someone who has an extensive background such as yours. :thumbup:
