Hmm, I disagree the N82 is terrible, indeed it is not a very strong, meaty port, but still very good indeed. A bit lighter than the 1985 but fairly comparable in my eyes. Croft 82 is also lighter, but has in my eyes a decent finsh. Sandemann 82 so far was the best in my eyes. Understood, that this o...

Hi Alex,

fine by me; are 2 places enough?

Hi there, when meeting Tom on Saturday we also discussed the possibilty of a 1982 horicontal to find out if there are any good. Hence this thread to find out if there is any interest. :) The ports from 1982 i have are Ferreira, Delaforce, Croft and Noval. Please let us now which ports from 1982 you ...

Hi there, Tom and I met up on Saturday to sort out long outsanding Port deliveries. To mitigate for the stress we had a very nice lunch in the Bell in Wendens Ambo and realised it is about time for starting the discussion with regards to the Christmas offline. Hence this thread and an initial sugges...

amazing pics, looks great. I am sure you are happy right now. I am as well, went to Stamford Bridge today to see Chelsea thrash Wigan and win the Premier league this season. Was also great! :) :D next week after the 78 Vintage Port tasting DrDirk and I will walk from Hastings to Winchelsea via Cliff...

Hi Julian,

indeed their online functionality is terrible, but this means people are put off and if you get used to the rubbish set up you can make some bargains otherwise there are not possible due to people rightly being put off.

with pleasure, updated with interested people.

Hmmmm we are already 9 interested people if there no changes; I fear the tasting fills up quicker than I thought.

WS1

I am sure he will. E.G. The Croft da Roeda 1978 will be brought by DrDirk and not by Tom

Hi Alex, the nearest airport is Cologne. There are various airlines who go there from various London airports. Other alternatives, a bit further away are Dusseldorf, Dortmund and Frankfurt (furthest; you would need then also to use the very fast train to Cologne ). Hope to see you there regards WS1

Dear all, I would like to organise a 1980 horizontal. Since there was already one Wokingham in May 2008 the location for this one will be Levekusen in Germany. I think 30 years after release it is the perfect time to find out what is what and see how the vintage is like. The tasting will include: Na...

Hi there,

I am also interested in this. Have though no T63, only G70 oporto bts and currently no F66 bts. Have KillerB problems with F66.
Have quite a few different F70 bottelings; Withhams, Army&Navy, Corney Barrow and another i forgot.

Derek, I had the Pisca on various occasions as well and also to me Alex tasting note does not seem quite right. The last time I had it in Germany at Axels "Tour de Horicont " and the bt Dirk provided was according to him already a bt version of it. It was fabolous and in my eyes up to with...

Axel, Julian is right, we should not openly cause confusion. If we were to leave it as you said all would turn up with another bt. Therefore we stick only to the 1978 Port tasting. I have contacted two people I know and I hope we can boost the attendance again. With regards to the Colheita let us fi...

Chris,

just checked my diary and I am afraid to say I cannot make it.

Chris,

I am interested, will confirm when i have checked my schedule. Should be OK. Sorry for being vage, but I was on holiday for 2 weeks and still try get back to normal pace.

Hope to see you soon

Also thank you very much to Paul Symington and Richard Mayson for the insite and coments. Special thanks to Derek for his tenacious sense for c...

Hi there, DrDirk came over from Germany for the weekend to enjoy himself before the Malvedos tasting. In order to properly warm up we opted on Friday evening to celebrate his BA business class upgrade with a Noval 1985. On Saturday we went to the opera and later to the Crusting pipe to enjoy a Croft...

Hi Jacob,

thanks a lot, DrDirk and I will be there.

Hi Jacob,

apologies but can you please let me know the timeline of the tasting again? It looks like I canot find it in the thread and am worrying to be in time for the tasting. In my memory a 5:30 PM tells me something but I am not sure.
