A tentative yes from me.

So if all goes well, we just have to mount the laser table in some form of portable unit like a backpack with connected hand instrument, and probably wear protective goggles; likely we'd also need a protective suit for health and safety in case of contaminated bottles or breakage. Then we'd be suita...

I haven't been buying a lot in the last few years, but this isn't my experience!

Agreed. Perhaps it more reflects a more accurate assessment following 2017/prior over-estimation, rather than any recent drop. Very interesting to see the assessment comparison however.

"They say I used apostrophys wrong - fake news! Fake news. We have the best apostrophys, they just didnt understand what I said. Fake news, so sad." Is it childish to point out there's no "y" in apostrophe/apostrophes; or the missing punctuation in "didn't" when it's clearly a popular representatio...

A shame, but not surprising; always worth a try. Glad you had a second bottle handy, and enjoyed that one. Thank you for coming back and letting us know.

Also have a look at our Swedish friends' page on Berisford here.

As Andy mentions, since this bottle has a T-stopper, this will be a port which was originally intended for immediate drinking, such as a simple ruby, ruby reserve, or a filtered LBV. Such ports were not intended for aging in the bottle, and will degrade slowly over time, however as long as stored we...

Draft of food order . CHECK YOUR ORDER. IF YOU DIDN’T CHECK, AND IT’S WRONG, IT’s YOUR FAULT. PLEASE CHECK IT NOW. Not wrong. However if this reply seen in time, I would like "Flatbread, lemon & coriander houmous" (listed under bar snacks rather than starters on current menu) as a starter instead o...

Agree, add.

I'm going to have to drop from the Xmas tasting this year due to other commitments confirmed yesterday (coincidental timing given Alex's reminder).
Please make my space available for a reserve.

Confirmed, still in.

Personally, I'd stop at the 85; I might have been tempted to include 94, but not 2000.

I can't make it, but there is already an emergency next Tue, if you haven't seen.

Would be interested, subject to date; I have only the '70.
I would prefer to have RV on a separate occasion (and will be extremely keen to join for that, and have been trying to pick up occasional RV in preparation for this).

Maybe it is a secret lucky sign and if you contact Warre they will send you the rest of the pipe! That would make it a very lucky four leaf clover :D PhilW - probably won't help, but I'll upload a photo of the whole cap. Nothing else on bottles as they're unlabelled. Thanks; you can probably guess ...

Sounds like an excellent idea for a tasting to me; the Sandeman '42 is particularly unusual and interesting.

No matching image in the VPID I'm afraid - I don't know.
Does the bottle have any other marks or embossing on the bottle?

Completely agree with Derek's advice above. Keep it well, and you have fabulous drinking for the next decade or two.

Still here. Still in.

I’ve never seen that bottle used prior to late 1960’s.

Just let me know what time to arrive Derek

The old VV has been on my bucket list for a long time; I hope to try it one day - though that might just have become somewhat less likely!

Sounds like you might need a drink.

Looks like an excellent menu, as well as the wine, finishing off with one of my favourite ports. My invite must have been lost in the post

Hexagons, we want hexagons! Hexagonal bottles would also tessellate perfectly (albeit not along the edges), while also not allowing an entire row or stack to slide, as well as fitting better within the hand for pouring. But no, we don't want really want hexagonal or square bottles; also presumably t...

I'd be interested too, if space and dates permit.
