Re: Glasses: what to buy; where to buy?

October was rather a modestly busy port acquiring month for me - what volume of port did I acquire? (To the nearest 1cl.) 11,925?

Re: October 2010 - A Diagonal Repeated
Given the overwhelming positive response to this tasting, if there is a substantial number of extra people who would like to attend - say at least another 10 - then I would be quite prepared to organise a larger tasting and have 2 bottles of each wine to pour.

Any thoughts re. the RAF contaminated Port conspiracy theory? Are we still using their glasses, decanter and funnels? We will be using their glasses, but may take the precaution of rinsing them all out before pouring the ports. Similarly for the decanters and funnels (although we may use our own tr...
