Yes please.

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.

No dinner for me thanks.

Is OBV a possibility?

I'm beginning to like blind. I'm still as rubbish at guessing though.

Excellent plan. Me too.

I can now offer Noval 66.

A very good idea. I'd like to come, but only have Warre and I see Jasper already offering that, so I would have to adopt please.

I'm on the way. Should get there a little after 5.

I'll be able to get there for 5.30 to help, probably earlier.

Default food order for me please.

My Ck70 at B&F.

Thanks.

Excellent news, and congratulations. Hope it sells well. My order placed.

Monday works for me too, permission has already been sought.

Works for me, yes please, thanks.

Hi Stuart

Great advice, and thanks for the more accurate estimate. For precision, is £50 (£600 for 12) what Gus could expect to get net, or a gross figure excluding shipping to an auction and commission etc.? Thanks.

Gus, I have sent you an email.

Could you let us know what the port levels in the bottles are please - shine a torch through the glass if it is difficult to see - are they in the neck, and if so by how much, or below the bottom of neck (the shoulder). Also, could you please post some pictures of the tops of the bottles to see caps...

Holiday, or I would seek permission. I'll acquire some of the finest French supermarket wine I can find (probably cheap tawny, sigh) and join you in spirit.

Hello Michael
Evening get togethers are indeed excellent, and you would be very welcome to join us sharing port.

What an amazing bottle to try. Thank you very much CMAG. Somewhat musty fruit cocktail to smell. To taste, musty, with orange, bruised apple, and strong underlying grapefruit. Dry. Complex. Echoes of sherry. Very long grapefruit finish. I took a little home and and am sipping it watching a program o...

I can reconfirm and have only Ck70. Will PM you.

25,000 UK out of UK led European coalition of 118,000 (when the 50,000 Prussians turned up) against 73,000 French. I've even read argued it was a German victory.

Thanks. I now have a ticket for Thursday.

I'm also keen on the majors, with some that declared both. Might perhaps be interesting, if we can, to have both Taylor Vargellas 91 and Terra Feita 91.

I plan to bring a Smith Woodhouse 70.
