Port box furniture
Julian's side hobby: making practical and stylish side tables from wooden port boxes (perfect to hold yours and your port chum's port glass).

Re: Douro Olive Oil - An Emergency!
Holy crap. We're so connected. We're vibing.
This morning, I was just grabbing one of my last bottles, and thought, "Uh oh. Must enquire with Alex about acquiring more of these!"
Yes please, can I have some more? Two dozen would be wonderful, please.
Thank you!

Re: Ground has been broken
Fair question. Nothing as far as I can see, other than the fact that consumers are used to pledging to buy things which don’t yet exist on Crowdfunding. You also get a very clear idea of how many copies you’ve sold before you go to print (as you do with the pre-order system you ran before). Perhaps...

Re: Weds 5th Feb 2020 - Bring a bottle to share
I have so much sympathy for you guys. Definintely you should have this random evening of port-tasting. Definitely. And Julian should definitely go. You poor lads. Don't continue to feel unsettled. That's not a pleasant thing. So, go taste, take notes, and be more settled. Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy!

Re: The Book, ‘Port Vintages’, is for sale
I've just listened to the esteemed author on The UK Wine Show ThirtyFifty podcast where he talks about vintage port. Very entertaining and well worth a listen. There's also a follow up podcast which I haven't listened to yet, where he talks about The Book. Both very good, very well worth a listen. ...

Re: Emergency, B&F, Monday 8th February 2016
Just to clarify, is this a different wife's brother to the one we shared eight bottles with in Paris? {He drinking one glass and us drinking eight bottles minus one glass} That was a boyfriend of a friend of the wife. But he might have had a married sister, in which case, yes indeed, a different wi...

Re: Thursday 17th December - The Christmas Offline
Since Julian usually spills his plans to me to attend a port tasting only a couple days prior to an event, I'm being proactive and doing some organisation. Can I confirm that Julian is attending? Or not?
Thank you,

Re: Wed 25 Nov 2015, horizontal of 1985s, Boot & Flogger
This is some serious sport. Very nice, guys. Last night when I heard Julian come home I assumed that he'd be totally sloshed. I heard him go up to his office, then a big bang on the floor. If that big noise was his big body collapsing, something made me think that he was just fine and that if he pas...

Re: Mon 21 Sept 2015, B&F, An Emergency
Ok, I just wanna know what the emergency is, and who declared it? It's interesting how sudden this 'emergency' came on. Something doesn't smell fresh in these Wiseman woods. Oh, and just because it's a small bunch of you, doesn't mean that you can pretend that more will attend to justify 'extra' bot...

Re: Monday 27 July, 2015 - Bring a bottle to share
Most of you, if not all, will be very thrilled to hear that Julian is able to attend Monday's port tastings. (We weren't able to remember why his 'permission' was about to be rescinded.)
Have fun!

Re: 1985 Fonseca
Cotton candy nose. Caramel taste, with a hint of cherry. Very pleasing. My husband is a tease because my glass is suddenly empty and there's no more. Please sir, may I have some more?

Thank you for stepping up, Derek! In all honestly though, I have to admit that I was calling JDAW's bluff. I just don't believe he'll stay for a short while. He loves you guys too much!

He just wants a taste. :roll: My request is, could you all set a timer for 20 minutes the moment he steps foot in the door please? I don't believe he's only staying for 2...
