Indeed not!

Not sure that has ever happened before, assuming only surnames are allowed. There was Robert Croft some time back, but I don't think there was another port house at the crease with him ever.

It seems that I don't have a great deal of port from the 1970 vintage at home or easy to get at before Monday, so I have taken the unilateral decision to relax the theme to now be "Port from the 1970s". We'll do this blind, then we can have some fun. Very good. That opens up more possibil...

Sounds good. Blind or sighted?

Oh, and the other thing I have discovered is that my diligence in keeping up to date with bottles going in and out of the cellar is not brilliant.

Hello and welcome, Martin. I use Vinocellar . It is an Apple iOS app (they don't have an Android version), with additional website access a bit like the example you shared above. The advantage I find with this app is that on the move, it is much easier to pull up the app and search my wines for what...

Indeed, that would be wonderful. And perhaps I'll be across the pond sometime soon. Was your Mumbai sign-off a temporary visit or have you moved??

Won't be able to make lunch sadly - I will be skiing.

Yes correct Andre! Tower Bridge, and a walk across the glass floor 42m above the bridge. Over to you!

We did pass the B&F on the way to this landmark. The landmark is less than one mile from the B&F I would guess.

No and no again. A clue is required. This landmark has moving parts.

Clues on the way soon.

No and no.

Good guess, but not the Tower.

I would not be letting my children anywhere near Prince Andrew...

must stop giving correct answers!

Today with the family I visited a famous London landmark. Which one?

Netherlands and Luxembourg

I'm about to fall asleep, so rather than set a question, I'll hand over to the first person to post a new question, and if none is posted I'll think of one in the morning!

Chianti

Brunello

1983 certainly divides opinion!

I'm also up for a 6 of the SW. Thanks.

I was a bit surprised by the report that because of the shape of the inside of the neck that you hardly moved the cork on the imperial before it was free. I suppose that the capsule does most of the work. I think it was probably more to do with the shape of the cork rather than the neck; I think th...
