Re: The Book, ‘Port Vintages’, is for sale
Lux-ed received today. Execeptionally well wrapped, almost obsessively so (a good thing surely), in multiple layers of bubble wrap, zip loc bag, paper and what not. Book looks fab, sumptuous leather, gilt-edged paper - wonderful workmanship! Now sitting down to enjoy the cloth bound copy received be...

Re: Tue 17th April 2018: cellar reduction and health check

Re: Tue 17th April 2018: cellar reduction and health check
Can I bring a F77 ? I can't think of any circumstance where the answer to that question would be no. Hi Magnus, sorry but I'm not likely to be able to join you for this (generously hosted) tasting, but hope you are well and have a good evening; Phil. Hi Phil, would have been nice to see you next we...

Hi Cornish crab please Steak medium rare - side order of green beans Can I bring a F77 ? In light of your generous offer I will quite gladly expand the theme of this tasting and thus, very gratefully, accept your F77.

My food order: crab salad followed by rib-eye + béarnaise sauce, potentially followed by a sticky toffee pudding.

Re: Tue 17th April 2018: cellar reduction and health check
I would love to come along as I am in town already that week for my WSET Level 3, and this is the best way possible of swotting up for the fortified wine module. Unfortunately, my course means that on this occasion I would not be available to help with the set up. Brilliant! I have added SCD to the...

Re: Tue 17th April 2018: cellar reduction and health check
Count me in Magnus. Difficult to know yet whether I can help with decanting, but I’ll try and protect my diary to make it possible. Also, if all the bottles are coming from the same storage then you could maybe have them shipped directly to the B&F? Great! You have been added. Good idea about shipp...

Re: Tue 17th April 2018: cellar reduction and health check
I’ll check my work diary tomorrow mornings and let you know. Would you like any contributions from attendees either in the form of port or in the form of cash for the evening? It would be great if you can make it! No contributions in any form are required for the ports. Food bill dealt with as per ...

Re: Tue 17th April 2018: cellar reduction and health check
I'd be up for this as my diary appears free for this day. I wouldn't be able to help with decanting since will be coming in from Reading but hopefully, someone(s) can step in. Failing that, we could always ask the B&F-I believe they've done some decanting for us before? Excellent! Attendee list upd...

Tue 17th April 2018: cellar reduction and health check
I am scheduled to attend a conference in London 17-18 April (Tue - Wed), but will arrive in the afternoon on the 16th (Monday). I would really like to meet up over some port at the B&F and was thinking of bringing some bottles out of storage in the interest of doing a "health check" on them (that's ...

Re: What do you have most of?
Undisputed first place - Graham 1994; then Fonseca 1985, Offley Boa Vista 1994 and Graham 1970, where only a few bottles differ between second and fourth place.

Re: Port and literature
In Our Game by Le Carré: I remember thinking, as the thousand-voiced choir of angels struck up inside my head, that if you're celebrating your emergence from the black light, a bottle of '55 Cheval Blanc and a large dose of Graham's '27 port make an appropriately celestial accompaniment.
