Re: Tuesday 15th May 2018, for the Royal Wedding
Chris Appleby will be joining us. He will be bringing a bottle of Sandeman 1970 and wishes to eat the goat's cheese salad and follow that with the rib eye (medium) with a side of beans; and 3 cheeses instead of dessert.

Re: Tuesday 15th May 2018, for the Royal Wedding
For me please:
No starter, special order bone-in rib-eye (medium rare) with skinny chips and béarnaise sauce, a portion of shallots on the side (although I'll have them with the green beans if I have to).

NV Niepoort VV
A bottle from the original release in the 1960s. Said by Dirk Niepoort to be 50% from the 1863 base wine and 50% to be from a mix of wines ranging from 1900-1950. Dark brown and incredibly intense in colour, 90% opaque. An amazing nose, full of scent. Incredibly intense and multi-layered with treacl...

1858 Valriz
Bottled by the family in 2013, 600 bottles of 50cl were filled and offered for sale. This is bottle 58 of 600. Olive brown centre with a slight green hint on the rim. In contrast to the Niepoort VV served next to this port this was much lighter and paler at 50% opaque and had significant amount of g...

Re: Thu 19 April 2018: Emergency
It so happens that I am in London on Thursday night, with a committee meeting starting at 17.00 and running until who knows when. I shall ensure that I am properly prepared in case I am free relatively early and can transfer to the B&F. I've also PMed you an alternative in case only you and I are av...

Re: Vintage Port by retailer in London
The Boot & Flogger is selling Quinta da Silveira 10 Year Old tawny and claims Davy's is the exclusive UK distributor and retail outlet.
As I visit the supermarkets over the next few days I will take a look at what they have in stock at the moment.

Re: Tasting
I agree with DRT. While I do try to identify what the wine tastes like, what is more important to me is how enjoyable it is to drink. But I disagree with DRT that a blackberry tastes like a blackberry. Some blackberries are sweet and delicious and I enjoy eating them. Some are small hard and sour an...

Re: Taylor's LBV
We're convinced of the merits of ageing LBV beyond its normal parameters. I have a case or two of Croft 2004 LBV in half bottles that was sold very cheaply in 2009-10 by one of the UK supermarkets. While now starting to show its age, I still enjoy these. In addition, we occasionally come across auct...

Re: Tue 17th April 2018: cellar reduction and health check
Sorry, just seen the requested deadline - been working on the b.f.t. all day today.
My order please - special order bone in sirloin steak (or rib-eye if sirloin not available) with bearnaise sauce and a side of green beans. No starter, no dessert.

Re: Second wind for 1963s? Tuesday 10 April 2018
With RLC and KMH unable to attend, we are now 13 ports for 12 people. Despite the heroics of the 1922 Committee last Tuesday and their desperate thirst, are we happy that this is the right number of bottles for a school night? Should we be opening both the Dow and the McKenzie?

Re: Second wind for 1963s? Tuesday 10 April 2018
The telepathy was correct. I can (easily) offer Dow, Mackenzie, Martinez or Sandeman. I could dig something else out of storage if necessary. Is this still an adoptive option? Unfortunately not. I will not be at home between now and Tuesday night. Perhaps Tom might have an S63 you could adopt?

I will be attending tomorrow, but will be relying on British Rail’s successor companies to get me promptly to London from Rugby. I may be late.

Re: Thu 05 April 2018, THRA’s mystery 1922
I should also remark that on the handful of occasions when I have drunk Warre 1922 from a bottle in good condition it has been an amazing port.

Re: Thu 05 April 2018, THRA’s mystery 1922
Unfortunately I only saw this thread today — and I was actually free last night! Swines: why did no-one email me or text me?
On a separate note, I would prefer to have the Xmas bask on Thursday 13th as I will be on family vacation on Thursday 20th. I'll start a thread to that effect.
