Way to go Justin-sounds as though you cleared the shelves!

I clearly live in a deprived area (of Port) as my local Sainsbury’s no longer stocks the Crusted

I left 59 bottles behind!

32 x Grahams Crusted 2013 @ £10 in Sainsbury's

Great find. You can make it even better with a £15 off £60 if you're a new customer or happen to stumble upon a new email... https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/gb/groceries/get-ideas/voucher-codes I wish I’d known that when I picked up 8 bottles @ £12 yesterday (see latest buy).

Sainsburys dropped their price on the Graham’s Crusted to £13 (actually £12 in the store that I visited) so I bought all they had (8) as I bought a few before Christmas and I gave away a few to friends (how sad am I? Still trying to convert them to the dark side!) and they all said it went down well...

I bought a bottle of their Ruby Port years ago and thought it was also very good value. Do they pay a little more for their blend than the supermarkets I wonder? I haven’t bought their own label champagne but I have had it at a Christmas bash a few years back (the year you came down to us) and the o...

Only seeing this now Alex I would have been on for a chat, next time perhaps? Short but sweet (pardon the pun).

I'm in but all I have is a half bottle of Cockburn's 1950!

A couple of nights ago I caught the end of an episode of Heartbeat (Niamh Cusack!), didn't manage to grasp the storyline but someone seemed to be stealing Port and selling it on the cheap. The coppers caught them loading cases (Warres) on to a truck and in the execution of their duty they caused a w...

6 x Malvedos 1995
3 x Cockburns 2000

Bought at auction.

I see I am now a 'Martinez 1985'. By coincidence I have a case of it arriving tomorrow. Hurrah! Wait. Is that how it is supposed to work? Where is my case of Dalva Golden White 1952?!? No, it defines what you have to bring to share with others at the next informal. Ooh, this is good for me. Yup I t...

Yes but I’ll be late, around 21.00hrs.

It is with great regret that I am no longer in a position to attend as that is Cheltenham week and I will be otherwise engaged (and since it is the same week every year you would have thought that I would have remembered that). Tighten those bootlaces and take to the field Harry!

Reserve list please.

I can’t get the DeLorean started; anyone got jump leads?

You finally persuaded her! Good man.

Yes but she’s now in her 80’s (I think) so I’ll have to make them last a lifetime; one every 3 years

12 x T70 PB in

Fonseca should be 9.23%. Now does it add up?

At the end of 2021, I had a cellar which was composed of: 72.47% Port (72.46% last year) 3.42% Bordeaux (2.58%) 2.80% Italy (3.10) 14.93% Spirits (7.06%) 6.38%(15.12) Others including Lebanon, Australia, USA, Spain, Germany, France and Portugal. 1920's, 30's & 40's 1.10% (1.20%) 1950's 1.32% (1....

Any strong dissenters?

Ah no I had a glass of Churchill's 10 y.o. all ready and I'm gradually getting my taste back.

Yes Neil, I’ve used it, thought the mechanism was a little stiff but drew the cork cleaner than my normal waiter’s friend. Will use the bag for shopping but not sure about the notebook and pencils; does anybody use pencils anymore?

I may join you but it would be after 20.00.

I hope to make it as well.

That would be an ecumenical question. On a point of order that quotation is strictly reserved for persons from the island of Ireland (have I been careful now Michael?).
