If you need a monkey’s selection for the blind tasting in the absence of an AHB suggestion, then may I suggest Smith Woodhouse 1977 VP.

Another fumble coming up...

“Beer, Spirits, Cigars, and Pork Pies
Other alcoholic drinks, decadent smokes, and hearty eating”

Welcome to the Forum! Enjoying port is all you need regardless of how many bottles you have. I hope to see you venture up for a tasting sometime soon, where you will definitely enjoy some great company, good juice and learn so much from the tasting and the wealth of knowledge that the welcoming memb...

Disappointingly, not one I can make. I hope all enjoy.

Tom - decanting is underway... and we shall look forward to whatever second bottle you would like to bring at your own discretion.

18 month old matured Comte for me please

A small but interesting article on the Drinks Business website regarding future Symington [I assume Graham’s] colheita releases from declared VP years from, and starting with 1994...

No food for me on this occasion thank you. But I have arranged for childcare, so I shall be at the B&F from about 2.30pm to help decant, pour and set up. I will also be dropping the 1983 GC in earlier in the day.

The latest Decanter magazine has a couple of notable articles. Firstly there is a section in Portugal Native Red wines £8-£25, but more interestingly, on the back page there is an article by Stephen Brook which inducts Fonseca 1963 VP into the Decanter ‘Wine Legends’.

Could you please pencil me in with a Sandeman 70 contribution please.

Ps the 96 g.c. was a favorite of this Irish playwright and troublemaker.

Winner gets 1.5l g.c.

Welcome back Chris! Very much look forward to catching up at the tasting.

with '69 being my birth year (with very little other port from that year), I would very much like to try it one day.

I shall save my TV69 for the appropriate birthday 69 horizontal tasting! I shall leave it to others to make inappropriate remarks about a 69 horizontal!

I am afraid I am also in France so can't make this one.
Enjoy the juice! And good luck Tony!

Bottle selected.

The Confraria do Vinho do Porto are meeting for a glass of juice?

But will they have the River Quinta.... methinks not.

I think I could do either... but the 6th would potentially be easier.

Reconfirming and would like to offer the 83 (as it I shall. My only GC bottle) I hope that will be agreeable.
Many thanks for arranging this Ian.

Plenty of space now we're in the Red Room. Welcome aboard.

Many thanks...looking forward to it.

If there is going to be room... may I please come along? It has been a hellish couple of months and I am extremely thirsty for some lovely port!

I can confirm the W70. Thank you

Really sorry to hear of your bad fortune Simon, the last thing anyone ever needs. Hope you manage to get things sorted with a minimum of stress, horrible though it must be. Thanks Phil... just one of those bumps in life's road. We are now already having 'fun' dealing with the insurance company. The...

Ps. Please enjoy the FG67 with my best wishes for Tony's birthday
