Re: Cockburn Vertical, Tue 2nd Oct 2018
Food order draft created; please check your orders; I will submit on Monday evening, so any corrections before then please. Wolfgang - as you have not posted your food choices and have no default order currently, I have assumed you want the same order as from a previous tasting, and trust this shou...

Re: Cockburn Vertical, Tue 2nd Oct 2018
Just missing an order (and/or default order) for Wolfgang (S).
Will create a default if I don't hear back today, and post the food order for checking tonight/tomorrow morning, and then submit on Monday evening.

Re: Cockburn Vertical, Tue 2nd Oct 2018
I thought one of the points of the default food thread was that the default order was taken as the order unless the individual actively and explicitly specifies something different? Kind of defeats the purpose if everyone needs to restate their default order every time does it not? Agreed, though s...

Re: Cockburn Vertical, Tue 2nd Oct 2018
Do we have any volunteers who could assist with setting up, decanting and pre-pouring on the day please? I am not yet sure whether or not work commitments will allow me to be there ahead of the start time so if there is someone willing and able to take charge on the day of the tasting it would be m...

Re: Wine Auctioneer
Absolutely we like bottles like this, especially with decent fill levels, cork not damaged or raised, and a good colour to the wine.
Can we get a couple of higher resolution images to look at more closely (perhaps by PM, or links by PM, as appropriate)?

1960 Warre
Opened as a treat at home. Full, woody and heavy fruit on the initial taste, yet a surprisingly light and delicate finish; much more balanced once given 4h+ post-decant. This bottle not quite as good as previous, particularly on the second day when the wine was still good but the finish was less rou...

Re: Software that makes placemats
The vintage stars themselves I find a little too cluttered for the overall appearance that I'm distracted with the fill and not the vintage date itself. I suggest /ShapesInTitles false def as the perfect solution. Or just using a different shape from the options available; I think gman was saying h...

Re: 1993 - A hunt
Vintage port from 1993 is essentially a non-starter, as Tom describes. I would suggest either looking at VP from 1991 bottled in 1993, or alternatively you could look for Colheita (essentially vintage tawny port) from that year, such as the Kopke 1993 Colheita.

Re: Mon 13 August: Emergency
I would hazard that Monkey is irrepressibly drinking Taylor '85.

Re: Tues 24th July - Bring a bottle to share
The monkey did a fantastic job, had us all laughing (especially with the tasting notes, very well observed and written), even if he didn't score any points on guessing the wines; his efforts were appreciated. Talking of the "What is it?" scoring, this is the first night I remember where nobody (exce...

Re: Cockburn Vertical, Tue 2nd Oct 2018
14 bottles for 14 people on a school night is appropriate. More is unnecessary, but desirable if rare or delicious. I would be very interested to try two bottles of 1975 Cockburn, from the same case, with the same fill level and the same weight, side by side with one having been given a long decant...
