Mon 24th Feb
There is about a 90% chance that I will be passing through London on Monday night and will be eating and drinking at TBH around 6pm. I could be there until around 8pm. If anyone fancied joining me, and we could share a bottle of their Offley '77 or just have a glass or two of Churchill '94 and/or be...

Just a double-check; when you confirmed with Tom, he didn't just mean to confirm the 650 (vs 750) as opposed to the cL (vs ml).jdaw1 wrote:Tom has confirmed that he meant this size: at 8⅔ bottles, slightly bigger than an Imperial.uncle tom wrote:I can only add the '24 (650cL)

Re: Tuesday 18th Feb 2014 - A Half-term Thirst
OK - need some advice from the masters... Have bottles standing, planning to decant in the morning and bring with me to work. Never taken a decanted bottle on a journey before, so once I've double decanted, can I just put the cork back in? What happens if the cork broke on the way out? Bung the bot...

Re: Ramos-Pinto: a vertical
Is it a good idea to have 1931 and 2011 in the same tasting? Do the very young Ports overwhelm those with some dignified age? Should we restrict ourselves to ≤2000, thereby excluding those from this century? I say yes. I would go further, and only include <94, or perhaps <=94 (i.e. not including ...

Re: Ramos-Pinto: a vertical
I would like there to be a deep tasting of many vintages of Ramos-Pinto. But the only Ramos-Pinto vintages I have are 1994 and 1931. Would anybody else want there to be such a tasting? And which vintages do those people own? I sadly have none but would love to join such a tasting. Let’s aim for an ...

Re: Apostrophe crimes
There will be three numbers, and I am instructing somebody to take the average of the better two of them. Or should that be the best two of them? So if the numbers are 10, 11 and 12, the result should be Average(11, 12) = 11½. Better two of three, or best two of three? Best two of three. Two of the...

Sainsbury's TTD 1999 VP
I notice that Sainsbury's are selling a TTD 1999 VP (Symington) instead of the previous TTD 2003 VP (Symington) in our local store. In regard to providing an experience that will encourage people to try more port, I applaud the move to offer a slightly older VP under the premium own-label; 2003 may ...
