Re: 2011 Horizontal - London, Sunday 23rd April 2051
I can reconfirm both my and my sons attendance. Have been itching to taste a few of the 11's this year but must show restraint. I will be celebrating my 80th birthday shortly after this offline -- My father lived to 82 and was enjoying wine until the end, I am pumped!

Re: 2011 Horizontal - London, Sunday 23rd April 2051
Wait list plus 1 please! Will turn 80 within a few months of this onsite, cant think of a better way of celebrating. My son will be 40 (born in 2011) and will be joining me on this trip as he will be a huge port lover based on the 2011 VP collection collection I have amassed for him.

Re: Sell collection
I would be interested but to be honest I would jump on the offer you have for 80% retail. I would be a buyer at at about 50- 60% of your retail price.
Also check out winesearcher as your retail numbers are off. For instance the Graham 63 is available at retail for 275, 283 and 296.

Re: The Durand corkscrew
Pretty much the durand is my go to opener. I used to use an ah-so most of the of the time so when the durand came out I thought it was a no brainer for me. Have had it for so many years and it has held up wonderfully thus far. Not a wine gadget guy (no aerators, nothing to help my wines open up/brea...

Re: 9 Bottles of Vintage Port For Sale
I concur with Andy, I may be a buyer but not until fall. Overnight shipping is to expensive. What do you consider to be a reasonable offer (retail, wine searcher low, wine searcher low plus 20% off)?

Re: How to serve a G70
I always start off with the intention of letting the port sit in the decanter and open up for 4 to 6 hours but when that window approaches somehow a glass or two is missing. I have since learned that decanting a different bottle of port the day before you want to decant a bottle of port often works ...

NYC 1985 retro
Was wondering if there was any interest in doing a 1985 retrospective on this side of the pond. I can host at my house on Long Island or take the lead on booking a location in Manhattan if its easier for attendees. Was thinking early to middle December. I have about 5-8 different houses from 85 so I...
