I can honestly say that I only had to look up 2 of these in my notes, T77 and C45. The latter only because I can never remember if it was the 45 or 55. Alex, I promise to be there for you when senility finally takes hold and you can't remember who you wanted to leave your cellar to in your will :lol...

Douro, surely!

Alan, what you have signed up to is the most intellectually stimulating and informative port forum on the www

Sandeman

...and I think this should be in the port discussion area

Derek

Don't believe him. I wore the fluffy slippers last time and the jokes still continued - unfortunately, you can't see the slippers in the photo

Derek

PS: Well done Gahhhhhndhhhi, a sure fire entry in Apostrophe Crimes

There is no benefit to be had other than to feed his OVD

Derek

I think this thread is:

• Educational
• Fun
• Mildly infuriating*

Derek

* because it is so easy to spot the errors once jdaw points them out and is therefore infuriating when I give him the fodder he needs to post here

Does anyone want to accept a bet against AHB having a case of Vesuvio 05 plus a few of those Mags En Premeur?

Derek

AHB,

I know that you have had at least 13 of those in my list. We shared 12 of them at various Offlines and the other is the QdN31 which I know you have had. The one I'm not sure of is Graham's 1985. If you know you have this one then you have had 14, plus any that are not in my list.

Derek

Derek , hasn't anyone ever told you , that when you eat pancakes in a care in the rain , you always , and I cannot stress this point enough , have the air conditioning working . . . Thanks, Luc. That is a sound principle which I will now add to my belief system and will never dare to attempt to eat...

I have tasted the following wines from the above list: 100 Points Fonseca 1977 (TPF offline #1) Qunita do Noval Nacional 1963 (Dinner at QdN Oct 06) 99 Points Croft 1945 (sample from AHB in Apr 06) Qunita do Noval 1931 (sample from Uncle Tom in Dec 06) 98 Points Fonseca 1963 (Crusting Pipe Offline N...

Did the rain make your pancakes go soggy?

Derek

Luc,

Dare I ask what you have chosen to spread on the pancakes?

Derek

The complete list, taken from Suckling's Vintage Port is: 100 Points Fonseca 1927 Fonseca 1948 Fonseca 1977 Quinta do Noval Nacional 1931 Qunita do Noval Nacional 1963 99 Points Croft 1945 Quinta do Noval 1931 Taylor's 1948 98 Points Fonseca 1963 Niepoort 1955 Quinta do Noval 1934 Quinta do Noval Na...

We all get a 25% share of the winnings

I have to say I love the idea of a Cellar Rumaging Tour - perhaps we could srike a pre-rumage deal on any leakers found during the tour

Derek

If this conversation happened whilst Alex and I were in the boat I would happily throw myself overboard and drown in QdNN31 before the point at which either Alex or I needed to pee

Derek

I need to visit my stash before the 1 Sep bash to retrieve a couple of Fonseca's so can liberate a 6 pack of WLBV95 then. So, at this point in time I have to last about 2 weeks with only 1 bottle and confine myself to drinking it on a Thursday when you guys get your arse in gear to be there with me ...

We need to arrange this soon. I now have 1 bottle left [after the one I am drinking now] and my others have been sent off to boarding school to grow up before returning home.

Derek

Right, we're back onto my human impact theory. 2 men could not make a significant impact on the chemical properties of an entire ocean no matter how much they peed in it

Derek

I think that explains a lot

I agree with Alex

Phew! that was close!

Pig lover? Have you seen The Simpsons Movie too?

[to the theme tune of Spiderman]

Spider pig, spider pig
Does whatever a spider pig does

Can he swing, from a web
No he can't cos he's a pig

Brilliant

Derek

Now you come to mention it, I think he's about to turn into your cat

Derek

Don't you think you should have thanked Debbie for putting up with you?

At last, somone who agrees with my view of religion - a shorter version is:

Religion = Fear of the unknown

I saved myself a fortune by explaining reality to my son at a very early age
