Re: Port for sale by retailer
Aldi UK have started sticking their Fletchers Christmas Port too. The 40YO is £39.99 this year. Be careful though as they seem to be trying to get rid of the standard bottles they had last Christmas bottled in 2021 but also some bottles in the old ‘decanter’ style that are freshly bottled in 2022.

Re: Hi from London/Kent
Welcome Michael. I shall look forward to meeting you at the Quevedo tasting next month. Btw… don’t let the Maths put you off. There are some very talented mathematicians among the members, and I would venture that they have discovered an equation that proves you can never ever have too much Port! Wi...

Exactly my reaction. Luckily that means I now don't have to decide between zebrano and mango. Was really struggling with that one.

New Oporto hotel
If you are heading to Porto and need somewhere to stay, this sounds like it is worth exploring, and has a connection to a producer too.

Re: Wed 30 Nov 2022, The Software’s 20th Anniversary
I am afraid I too will need to step down from this one as there is a lot going on around that time and I need to keep bringing in some money! Good to see there is a health waiting list so I hope it is a great success and also to be at a future placemats anniversary tasting.

Re: Taylor's Terra Feita Vertical, Wednesday 2 November 2022, B&F
Strike dates have all changed but having altered all my arrangements to come up and go back on the same day I am going to stick with that plan. I should be able to arrive early to help set up and begin pouring for a prompt start.

Re: Taylor's Terra Feita Vertical, Wednesday 2 November 2022, B&F
I am still intending to come to this tasting but as Phil suggests I will be leaving early (before 9pm) to catch my last train from Waterloo which is at 21.30 as I can’t get back the following day due to the strike. I may also skip dinner as a result.

Re: Taylor's Terra Feita Vertical, Wednesday 2 November 2022, B&F
@GEAG - I think it might be difficult to find the TV87. There was only a single confirmed sighting for the TV vertical next year, and I suspect it might be being held back for that tasting. How about the 2005 instead? That’s readily available. A&M have half a dozen TV87 listed at £78/bt inc, de...
