A fantastic post, which should itself be displayed atop a doily of the finest nature.

Custom-made TPF doilies maybe?

I thought that’s what Julian’s placemats already were!?

Yes please.

The serving temperature guide for tawny/colheita port is approx 10-12 degrees c. Personally I think you can go a bit colder. I will take the port out of the fridge about 15 mins before and pour. They should get up to the perfect temperature for the start. I am sure others will have very different vi...

Done

Hi Simon, Having been stored in the loft maybe an issue, as although nice and dark they may have been subject to quick temperature changes and significant heat in the summer months. If you don’t find a buyer here it maybe worth opening and enjoying one to make sure they have not been affected. Good ...

Hi Phil, Always happy for you to edit anything necessary. Please add me too.
Many thanks,
Simon

Happy Birthday for tomorrow Tom! I hope we still get your birthday tasting done and that I can still make it, at which I look forward to sharing a S60, which I have saved for it, with you. Enjoy your 1945 and the rest of the celebrations.

There are two new tastings from Churchill's happening in May. Ahead of World Cocktail Day on 13 May, on Tuesday 12 May in English and Thursday 14 May in Portuguese, Johnny Graham and his son James Graham will discuss some new ways consumers are enjoying port today, sharing serve and cocktail suggest...

Wow! That is a list of some fine port from great vintages. I am guessing it is 75mls sample bottles as per the first couple of tastings. So this one or Churchill's for a bit less?

How about a Zoom ‘after party’ debrief?

Update on 67 Pall Mall tastings... Demetri Walters MW doing a Port session on 13/5. Details here - https://www.67pallmall.com/events/wednesday-13th-may-port-with-demetri-walters-mw/ Thanks Neil. Do you know if it is one with samples and if so what they are and how much? It looks like a virtual memb...

Yes please

Only 3999... very poor. More effort and port required!

Or equally it could be... 7, 11, 13, 17

Who can print and be the returning officer?

Printed. I’ll do it...

Hero!

Bottle opened and decanted at 10pm last night. Stopper put on decanter but will be removed at midday. Seems to be showing very well.

By coincidence it is the 50th anniversary of the first filtered Taylor’s LBV (The 1965 LBV released in 1970).

Coming back to the first post’s premise... The important thing is there is a place for both styles and filtering should not be banned

Tony and the team at Vintage Wine & Port are doing a fundraiser Quevedo Port tasting on the 7/8th May in support of NHS and Portuguese charities. The tasting pack is £99 for 6 x 375ml bottles for a Taste at Home tutored tasting with Oscar on YouTube Live. This is also done in association with the gr...

Rightly or wrongly I thought that those that filter their LBV do it so that there is a quality ‘ruby’ port available for the market that requires no decanting (and can also be described as Vintage). To a lot of people the need to decant and a lot of the other traditions around port that we like are ...

Like Alex's idea of post-tasting tasting.

If there is an apres tasting tasting, we should arrange a warm up tasting for early birds too

Can you add Mike/Flash please. He is busy helping the NHS supply chain, but good for this tasting.

Yes please... I have 1999 and the popular 2001

Below is a list of documentaries and films based around wine that I have come across. As people might have time on the hands, other than Mike and those others saving us in this strange times, I recommend SommTV.com where you can register for a free 7day trial or and or subscribe for about £9 month (...
