Re: Graham's Bicentenary Collection

Exactly my reaction. Luckily that means I now don't have to decide between zebrano and mango. Was really struggling with that one. I was leaning towards the Zebrano as it seemed to be full w :990066: nker “look at my drinks cabinet…it was an obscene amount of £££!!!”, I think it also works slightly...

New Oporto hotel

If you are heading to Porto and need somewhere to stay, this sounds like it is worth exploring, and has a connection to a producer too.

Re: Wed 30 Nov 2022, The Software’s 20th Anniversary

I am afraid I too will need to step down from this one as there is a lot going on around that time and I need to keep bringing in some money! Good to see there is a health waiting list so I hope it is a great success and also to be at a future placemats anniversary tasting.

Re: Taylor's Terra Feita Vertical, Wednesday 2 November 2022, B&F

Strike dates have all changed but having altered all my arrangements to come up and go back on the same day I am going to stick with that plan. I should be able to arrive early to help set up and begin pouring for a prompt start.

Re: Taylor's Terra Feita Vertical, Wednesday 2 November 2022, B&F

I am still intending to come to this tasting but as Phil suggests I will be leaving early (before 9pm) to catch my last train from Waterloo which is at 21.30 as I can’t get back the following day due to the strike. I may also skip dinner as a result.

Re: Taylor's Terra Feita Vertical, Wednesday 2 November 2022, B&F

@GEAG - I think it might be difficult to find the TV87. There was only a single confirmed sighting for the TV vertical next year, and I suspect it might be being held back for that tasting. How about the 2005 instead? That’s readily available. A&M have half a dozen TV87 listed at £78/bt inc, de...

I've updated the first post to include Nadia Quevedo at the tasting and to add the details of venue and timing. Note that the Boot & Flogger were full on the 14th so we've switched over to 67 Pall Mall (thank you Neil!). The room at 67 Pall Mall is a little smaller than the Red Room at the B&am...

I would surmise that these are being primarily crated up for the nouveau riche in China, who usually have a sweet tooth but also tend to be tannin averse.
