Perhaps you need to buy a Quinta? Assuming you sold none whatsoever of the resulting production, while there would be a substantial reduction in the average age of your bottles (including current port stocks) in year 1, from year 2 onwards there would be an inexorable annual increase. Only provided...

Will send list of available bottles, costs and condition by email.

Can you link the source of the table - in case of any helpful surrounding text describing the criteria used to include a year in the table)? I suspect, given the obvious anomalies, it might simply be "whichever years I thought should be" per some individual? Perhaps it's intended as "years VP (ignor...

Either possible, 25th preferred

Potentially including some different shippers for the same vintage.

I'd be happy to organise this one if it was of interest...

I would love to do a full Warre vertical.

I agree that if having a lesser tasting and a greater tasting, the lesser should come first.

n.b. Still haven't voted as on Tapa; my pref would be <previous week> for lesser tasting, if that were one of the options.

Yes please!

Some thoughts on the thoughts above. Please try and give comments against the tentative conclusions I have outlined in bold . Good job trying to drive this forward Mike, and useful to summarise the starting point and options. In regard to tiers, there are obviously a number of ways to break things ...

That was a good early reminder! Ok then... At the of the start of 2020, my cellar comprises the following (2019 values in brackets for comparison): Port by type: 84% Vintage/SQVP (80%) 9% LBV/Crusted (10%) 7% Tawny/colheita/white (10%) Vintage port by shipper: The producers with highest representati...

As one of the 1970 vintage babies, have a vested interest in this. As such, AHB and I are going to look at 67 Pall Mall (of which I'm a shareholder) as a possible venue for hosting a 1970 tasting. 67 Pall Mall sounds like an interesting option (and an interesting place to visit); If not suitable fo...

Xmas eve/day we had a Croft '55 (following our tradition of a vintage Croft at Christmas) plus a good Riesling and a lovely Crement de Loire.

Have just taken out a Rebello Valente '63 for new year, along with a Pol Roger NV brut.

After a few relatively wine-free days, service resumes later today with some Musar loving friends coming for dinner. As such, the following have been pulled from the cellar in readiness: 1995 Charles Heidsieck Blanc des Millenaires 1989 Chateau Musar White 1989 Chateau Musar Red (the "standard" cab...

WOTN scoring

I could use a good photo of the Canais '91 label if possible please?

The lettering is not as crisp as I would expect given the technology available in 77and the colours don’t seem right. I’m no expert, which is why I turned here for some advice. I keep meticulous records and I know from where this was purchased, which led me to thinking - how often are VP’s forged a...

I’d like to know what others think. I tend to prefer a single pattern on a set of placemats - or at least a coherent one; so: - outline or solid wording, with pattern filling in circles and clear background - outline or solid wording, with clear circles and pattern filled background - pattern-fille...

I hope everyone attending enjoyed this as much as I did. Having Sophia, Philip and Kit join us meant we were able to hear more of the history and in particular for this tasting the interaction between QdlR and the RV port production, which was excellent. Per the voting just posted above, WOTN was cl...

Decanted at B&F looking good.

Placemats have been printed

Thanks Alex.

I'm currently expecting to be at the B&F from around 13:00 to decant, and expect to start set-up and pre-pour from 16:30 for usual 18:00 start.

Placemats all look good, ports and people checked. Thank you.

Latest version of the food order v4 submitted, including last minute guest changes requested.

I've booked into The Cricketers.

As have I.

Updated and hopefully final version of the food order v3 now submitted, to include changes for non-available items, believed all now ok with B&F. Is the link correct? Thank you, no it was not - I'd failed to update the version on this link. However, one of our guests has just requested a change, so...
