92 for me.

The Aldi Christmas range has hit the shelves. They are using the Fletchers Brand name this year rather than Maynards, but the 40YO tawny is available again under the new name at £34.99, a 2016 LBV at £9.49 a 20cl Reserve Ruby at £4.99 and online only you can get a 4.5l 10YO Tawny at £99.99! There a...

Of course not - many thanks

Talking to the auctioneers - there are a lot of private buyers out there who are driving up prices. Particularly on wines and ports that are in a good drinking window.

The last one is a later release of stock from TFP. They were certainly available in the UK up until the end of last year - when stocks sold out.

Only 60 BT’s for the UK - where are the rest going?

Thanks guys. Much appreciated...

Thanks Simon. Chris (Blandy) is a very charismatic presenter and the idea is to introduce a new audience to Madeira starting with a fairly basic introduction to the main styles. If we run on from this one perhaps progress to colheitas and then Frasqueiras?

Any excuse for an after party....

Yes definitely. I do have some 88/90/91/92/97 vintages. Opened a 92 last week - very good.

A tentative yes - but depends on whether the lockdown tightens.
Have most shippers - duplicates in S, T, C and an unknown Corney and Barrow.

Yes please

Are you available for the new date? Neil Yes - Mon28 would be ok. Let me know if there is any space Sent from my iPhone usin...

Would you be able to put me on as reserve - 1945 Ferreira Done. If promoted from reserve (which is reasonably likely) might you have an alternative bottle? We've already got a Ferreira 45, and whilst a comparison would be interesting suspect the general preference would be for greater variety. If n...

Interested to get some feedback on the 90ml bottle size. Oscar and I are trying to find a compromise between 5ml (too small) and halves (too much)

Do you want a placemat? If one page, no room for logos. Either send detailed instructions, or allow me to use my skill and judgement. Edit: if one page, no room for many logos. Edit: www.jdawiseman.com/2020/20200730_Quevedo.pdf ? Hi Julian Yes please & much obliged. Don't worry about logos this...

Oscar will host a second live Quevedo tasting on 30th July 8pm BST. As before it will be on You Tube live. The focus of this is on his white ports.

Thanks Rich... The TPF product is hidden so you can only go through Alex's link above.

There are not...
