Re: Thursday 9 March 2017, 80s Majors Matrix
I'm in. I could bring F83 (or more accurately, I can bring F83 if I have any left, otherwise IDJ can hopefully bring F83 for me since he has my other bottles of it). Phil, this is no problem. As Mike alluded to in earlier post, I have managed to secure a bottle of F80 from an unopened and well stor...

Re: Wed 25th Jan - Emergency
Yes, this was very pleasant and relaxing drinking with the G70 edging out the S70 but both lovely and popped and poured on the night. The observant of you might ask why these Ports given we had them at the tasting earlier this month (and three S70s to boot). Well, the S70 was because it was to hand ...

G77 opened for the purposes of my brother-in-law's 40th and found to be riddled with VA-very disappointing and only a couple of years after similar with D77 at his birthday.

OK in the top post I have provisionally allocated bottles for folks to bring (bold and italics initials). Some people have multiple bottles available - please drop me a PM if there are any issues with the bottles I've allocated to you, or if you can't spare multiple bottles. Given the uneven balanc...

I've just received Tanner's latest newsletter through the post. Included with it was a flysheet giving details of their winter sale. Currently they are offering Churchill 2008 LBV @ £14 per bottle (inclusive of VAT). It's actually better than that-their email says £12.50 a bottle and this is reflec...

Re: The 10th Birthday, Tuesday 20 June 2017
I haven't even paused to reconsider- I'm simply hitting the 'yes' button
Weird thing is I was thinking just earlier of posting for an update of where we were on this tasting.

Re: Thu 06 Apr - 55@55 again?
It would be a real shame if all of Ben's (and Danny's) hard work in establishing the BFT were to be allowed to fall away and so hopefully this is merely a hiatus and others can assume the mantle next year. I'm still ok for this tasting by the way.

I don't believe so as with the addition of Julian's guests we are back to our usual maximum of 14 (even without Mrs W) but as organiser, I'll leave it to Charles to provide the final say.AHB wrote:CMAG has just enquired whether there might be a space at the table for him.

Given the about two drop-outs (and unless there are any reserves in waiting), we should now lose the two THs but I would still like to retain the SW.

Re: How to serve a G70
I suspect that Alex's (AHB) variations in decanting times were more down to circumstances than anything else-; I had to decant the G70 12 hours beforehand for the tasting we had last week but that was becuase I had to take into work with me before going on to the tasting. It didn't stop it being the...

Re: A Gould Campbell vertical
Wilco. Done. Thanks. Have you booked B&F or would you prefer I did? Done: Red Room, from 4½pm. Was going to but didn't have the opportunity yesterday-thanks for taking the initiative. By my reckoning a maximum of 224 glasses will be required (assuming we're able to include the 45, 55 and 60)
