Re: Anyone interested in a Six Grapes Tasting?

I will drop from this as the summer is tricky, and as much of a Six Grapes fan I am, if I have to ration my tastings, this is one I can miss without significant tears.

Re: O-PORT-UNIDADE treading Party 22nd September

Very disappointed to say that I can’t make it Axel… but I wish the project every success, hope that everyone has an amazing time and look forward very much to drinking the port that is made! Very best of luck!

Re: Graham (or Malvedos) vertical, Tue 14 May 2024

Yea please… I hope that I will be in a better position to guarantee attendance by then. I will check what I have but could definitely offer the GM 2015 which should still be unavailable through retail at that stage.

Re: 2001 Penfolds Bin 707

I appreciate this is probably a failure of mine but Penfolds is one of those companies that completely defeats me because of the number of wines they produce and their confusing names. Is the Bin 707 better than the Bin 94? Perhaps if I were a member of the Penfolds Club I would be able to tell... ...

Re: Anyone interested in a Six Grapes Tasting?

I am guessing this tasting will be pre-summer. If it doesn’t happen for any reason until the autumn I would hope to be able to attend and have a Tappit Hen of the standard Six Grapes which I would be happy to throw into the mix.

Re: Latest buy

Not had a stella GM79 yet but hopefully they will be good.

However, the Mackenzie 55 is normally another very yummy Port! It would make for a good tasting alongside the FG76… possibly with a Dow 80 added to provide the Baga team, to go against another 55/76/80 trio. 😀

Glenn maybe able to advise but I believe the US seems to get the years we don’t. I think 2005/6 were released the other side of the pond… but may have misremembered that.

Re: Hotel or Restaurant Price List of the Week

I thought the 2016 Bioma to be stunning but a very different style to all the others. To take a French wine analogy all the other 2016s I tasted were a Bordeaux style, while the Bioma was Burgundy like. Very different… unique and lovely!

Re: UK Government Cellar List

I am a big fan of English wines but I think it is a worry if we try and impress others as to the quality of our home wines with Chapel Down Bacchus.
