I have BN67 and a bonus bottle of Taylor's 67 Crusted.

First post edited. OK suggest B&F 6:30 onwards 10th May. BOOKED SMALL ROOM ON RHS AS WE GO IN. TC JDAW JDAW+1 BEN CPR Bring a bottle (blind) I have two problems. a) We have no PF events in May. b) I need an excuse to cart a load of 67 port to the B&F. Is anyone able to help me out of this di...

First page updated with list of confirmed attendees. I'll double check who is bringing what next week - if there is a problem let me know I probably have a few spares. I'll check all is still OK with B&F next week.
I need to find an excuse to drop off my bottles.....

Where do you want me to send the Coc 67 to? Since there will be postage involved, I would rather have a UK-based person bring this to reduce overall cost. Otherwise I will send this. Best Axel Hi Axel If you can send it to my work - I will bring it in with the others. I'll PM you next week when I g...

I thought Taylor might have released a VV as it is their 325th.

Yes please - another go at the 77's would be fun. November would work better for me

Just had it confirmed today - there is an article here https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2017/ ... tage-port/

I think option c) would work well. After a hard nights tasting work the option of a few aged tawnys might go down well.
There are still a couple of months to go and I am still working on a couple of VP's.

My vote is (c). Let us know which vintages you're missing and we can see if we can track them down in anyone's cellar. I have a confession though. When get myself organised this weekend to take some bottles to the B&F for this tasting, I found that I do not own any Butler Nephew 1967. I have on...

Hmmm.... Thank you Tom for a comprehensive answer.
Maybe I should have picked up the 63 Noval.

First post updated. Can those who have not confirmed please do so soon as there are some on the reserve list that need to book flights. I am a couple of ports "lite" on my target (I am still working on these but if you have any please let me know). I can either a) Double up on some cases -...

A very pleasant evening well spent! Excellent summary Simon.

I went to view a case of 1963 Noval yesterday and was disappointed to find that that 10 of 12 had corks that had dropped. They look to have been cellared reasonably well. All of the bottles were all sealed with plastic caps (as opposed to foil or wax) and there was no seepage. I have noticed this be...

Thank you for posting this and welcome to our group. Do you know the shipper/producer and is it solera or frasqueira?
Send me photo by PM - I have a few 1850 so will probably pass - if I (or other PF members) do not want it I will recommend some places to sell.

This weekend - 1974 Barros Colheita and a 1967 Taylors Single Harvest. The latter was rather kindly given to me as an early birthday gift by the importer.

By chance (or fate) I see that there is one space left and my jury service has just been postponed a few days so I can come.

Hi
Please can I send my port to one of you folks to bring in?
I am flying back from Oporto on Thurs 9th and will not have time to pick it up - I hope to be at B&F around 6:30.
Much appreciated. T

Can you add me as a reserve please.

PM sent - Everything booked. Looking forward.

Starter Truffle Mac
Main Chargrilled sirloin steak 220g (medium Rare) with hand-cut chips and grilled tomato - side order of spinach.

Going through my cellar today I discovered a 1920 GC as well as the 1927 GC, I don't want to part with both for the tasting but I will offer one up (previously 27). If you have a preference for the 20 let me know.

Hi Axel

All saved - thank you!

If I reserve a space can I pass it (and appropriate quantity of port) to one of my children?

Curse my lack of organisation skills.... Mrs C has just pointed out that on the 6th Apr I should be on a plane going on hols NOT going to B&F for a tasting.
I'd better back out now (of the tasting that is).

A great evening that was well organised (Thank You Charles). Most bottles were library releases except (T & F). There was good consistency across the 77's except Dow which showed a little weaker. This was my first tasting in The Ovens room at the B&F- In my humble opinion the room is more ac...
