Two tastings in three days-what have you done that Mrs W doesn't want you around the house!?

I can only stretch to a tasting a week in April without feeling the financial and other pinch and so reluctantly I think that I'll have to decline.

Have decanted an additional bottle (for 'dagger') just in case we have a thirst on . I expect to arrive shortly after 6.30pm.

I have but one bottle of S63 which I believe to be in good condition and so in the absence of anyone with a bigger population of S63 volunteering then I would be prepared to bring this.

Apologies:

Cheesy Welsh Rearebit for starters, followed by the Gammon, with black pudding, chips and heritage carrots but NO egg (let Julian have it before it touches my plate!)

Thanks

Yes, I agree with some of the comments above; there were always going to be some faulty bottles with this range of bottles and at this age, although I was so looking forward to trying the Niepoort and thus it was especially disappointing to find this bottle not in good nick. However, there were enou...

And just confirm (as those others present the other evening will have noted) that my two bottles are residing at the B&F.

This was an interesting and very enjoyable tasting in which the initial quorum of wines were all virtually consumed at 8.30pm leading to the range being augmented firstly by the addition of a light and fresh tasting S70 (which I thought deserved of the point that I gave it) and then by a Cr63 (too l...

I thought this ship had sailed but I see not. Subject to reconfirmation with the powers that be (but take as read), I'm in. D70 be ok?

From a purely selfish perspective I'd like it to be next Thurs which would then afford me the excuse/opportunity to drop off my '63s...

27 confirmed and put aside - Don't get too excited about the '12... proving a little difficult to locate. {Swoons} Thank you. Cockburn is, of the 1927s, third equal. In a top top vintage, too. Like an infatuated teenager I'm still hoping, despite mother's warnings, that the 1912 will fall for my ch...

Tom, kind ofer but family committments prevail over this Easter weekend (Easter egg hunts in the main it would appear-althpugh Port hunts preferred!).

Would be up for any day next wek however...

chips

Skinny or fat?

And pls could there be food orders from Alex, Ray, Kate, Tom, both Wolfgangs, Ian, Axel, and Derek.

See previous page (but skinny chips please)...

If the appropriate opportunity arises then I will drop off my bottles at the B&F but like Phil, I'm not currently due in London before this tasting and therefore they will likely arrive pre-decanted. Foodwise, Truffle mac and cheese followed by Steak (medium-rare) with skinny chrips and green beans....

Mr. Mike P. Meehan: what will you bring? Dr. Tony Carter: what will you bring? Mr. Derek R. Turnbull: what will you bring? Mr. Ian D. Johns: what will you bring? Mr. Simon C. Doggett: what will you bring? Mr. Ben M. H. Read: what will you bring? Mr Wolfgang P. Starz: what will you bring? Continuing...

This was typographical rather than grammatical with the second quotation mark inadvertently being inserted before the 's' rather than after and thus becoming an unintentional apostrophe.

OK B&F Now booked for the 5th June Some comments on the theme would be useful. either: a) we try and construct a vertical of examples from years ending with an '8' b) we go fo a 'blind' bring a bottle with an 8 in the vintage as suggested by Alex. Please confirm availability for the evening and you...

I'd need to check but it should work for me-Tues or Weds would be best.

Absolutely-September this year would appear free... Thanks for brokering Tony.

Just received an e-mail from TAP announcing flights from London City Airport and it appears that a round trip next month will only set you back £78-that's so tempting!

My order is:

Truffle Mac and Cheese
Gammon and chips with black pudding but no egg (egg not to touch my plate but to be dexterously offloaded to Julian's beforehand) plus a side order of green beans
Dessert TBD on the night

Thanks

Yes, although it's CaF I am additionally providing as opposed to Ca.

Sadly TC also can't make it.

But Dia said she could and so can she be added to the attendees? Have we made a final decision on what's within theme and what's without ie I'm assuming that N and V are in but FG is out?

Yes please Axel-count me in (will decide on bottle nearer the time).

I recall an early bottle of the 94 definitely mentioning QH but the later bottles didn't. It was a bit stewy last time I tried a bottle (of the non-QH labelled version). Will now be tempted into trying another bottle (of the five I have left).

This thread was quite prescient since before I saw it (on a circuitous trip into work this morning) and bagged the last seat, I had decanted a bottle of the Ck77 (the recent release) this morning. This is in preparation of a small cheese and Port soiree where it will be up against a G77 and a 40yr t...
