Perhaps a professional in the world of film arts could register and find out more?

I have searched for it before without success.

Perhaps an email to the British Film Foundation would prove useful?

Billy,

Are you sure you are describing these correctly?

You mention a "minuscule leak" and then say the bottles are 3/4 full. Those two descriptions seem incompatible.

Would you be able to post some pictures showing the fill level of the bottles?

Three bottles delivered today from The Whisky Exchange.

Hi Cory, Christopher & Co. were a prominent UK wine merchant in the 19th and 20th century and bottle Port produced by many different producers. What you have is a very old bottle of very basic Port. Ruby Port can be purchased from around £8-£12 per bottle today and it is a style that is not designed...

The National Archives list this company as "Garnett Brothers Ltd, wine and spirit, tobacco and cigar merchants, ale and stout bottlers", so they do seem to have had a bottling line but it was possibly only for ale and stout.

Can you please clarify whether you want help with identifying them or drinking them?

Perhaps he will now be texting Jo Root asking if he needs him for the third test?

According to the rumours, it rather seems that KP is texting du Plessis asking whether he is needed for the third test.

No doubt the first one to text back will have his undying loyalty

AHB and I have just spent a very enjoyable evening at The Oval watching Surrey beat Essex in a very close T20 game. We also had the singular honour of watching Kevin Pieterson's first appearance for Surrey in two years. I think we joined everyone in the ground hoping he would be bowled out with an o...

I vaguely recall being told many years ago that the standard CofE communion wine was a 50:50 mix of ruby port and tap water. This would appear to fail the 'Vatican test' on two counts.. I'm not entirely sure that the CofE has been bound by the "Vatican test" since the time when Henry VIII decided h...

If it was my turn I would be asking about which continent it is from to attempt to narrow the field

On the flip side, you can now get reasonably sized parcels from one end of the country to another (or even overseas) for about the price of a pint of beer rather than the £25 or so it would have cost you a few years ago. Apart from groceries, my wife and I do almost all of our shopping online and ou...

Dornish wine?

Whilst clearly not true 'Port", it is commendable that it is available in reasonably sized bottles...

Do we have a Croft 70 (75cl) yet?

If not, I can bring one of those.

A great read, Ben, and a very nice blog site. Thanks for posting here

Tuesday night we had dinner at O Paparico and caught up with Roy Hersh face to face for the first time in four years. It was a long evening, Andy arrived during the afternoon and Christopher joined us around midnight straight from the airport. There was a magnum of wine opened, which I remember was...

In the spirit of sharing experiences (as requested by our organiser) I can confirm that I did the same things as AHB apart from the two halves of Dalva due to a slightly later arrival
