Re: Second wind for 1963s? Tuesday 10 April 2018
If the appropriate opportunity arises then I will drop off my bottles at the B&F but like Phil, I'm not currently due in London before this tasting and therefore they will likely arrive pre-decanted. Foodwise, Truffle mac and cheese followed by Steak (medium-rare) with skinny chrips and green beans....

Re: Apostrophe crimes
This was typographical rather than grammatical with the second quotation mark inadvertently being inserted before the 's' rather than after and thus becoming an unintentional apostrophe.

Porto From London City
Just received an e-mail from TAP announcing flights from London City Airport and it appears that a round trip next month will only set you back £78-that's so tempting!

Re: 1994 Tesco
I recall an early bottle of the 94 definitely mentioning QH but the later bottles didn't. It was a bit stewy last time I tried a bottle (of the non-QH labelled version). Will now be tempted into trying another bottle (of the five I have left).

Re: Cockburn Vertical, October 2018
This thread was quite prescient since before I saw it (on a circuitous trip into work this morning) and bagged the last seat, I had decanted a bottle of the Ck77 (the recent release) this morning. This is in preparation of a small cheese and Port soiree where it will be up against a G77 and a 40yr t...

Re: Second wind for 1963s? Tuesday 10 April 2018
Another time for the NN. I Agree Me too, Port should be inclusive and this suggestion was mooted after the start of the thread. That being said, can't help feeling a pang of disappointment. We need to keep this 'another time' alive! Having said I need to adopt, I think I have some OBV 63. Already v...

Re: Tue 17th April 2018: cellar reduction and health check
I'd be up for this as my diary appears free for this day. I wouldn't be able to help with decanting since will be coming in from Reading but hopefully, someone(s) can step in. Failing that, we could always ask the B&F-I believe they've done some decanting for us before?

Re: Second wind for 1963s? Tuesday 10 April 2018
So I believe that means the three adopted bottles being W (from Charles), Mz (from Alex) and Cn (from Tom). However... Will bottles÷people at 1.0 be sufficient? Should the team adopt from those with multiples? I agree that with a full complement of 14 people there's a case for adding for adding two ...

Believe I have successfully printed out the current version of the placemats (in colour) and so providing I don't leave them in the office (like last time) will bring them with me later. Will try to get there as early as I can.
