Re: Annual ACPT March 8th 2014 tasting in NY
And finally, though this is the Annual ACPT tasting, we're doing a frickin' Fonseca vertical going back to the 50's. It deserves a majestic name. Any suggestions? If you're including the '97, then the run would be '55 to '97, so the name could be "The Meaning of Life: 42 Years of Fonseca"...

if you carefully re-arrange the letters and make a couple of strategic substitutions, you could [turn] Niepoort into ...

Re: Sainsbury's TTD 1999 VP
I was planning to wait for the 25% off for 6 or more before buying; will happily pick some up for you before that if you would prefer. Since it has only just appeared, I'm hoping it won't disappear again any time soon.

Re: Mon 24th Feb
No worries. Since no-one is around I'll probably pass through London without stopping, since I made an unexpected stop at TBH on Thursday with a colleague as well. Also saw someone who looked like RAYC, but probably wasn't, since a loud shout of "Rob" produced no effect! - Rob, you have a ...

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...

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 ...
