I leave to go snowboarding very early on Friday 29 February, returning late Saturday 15th March. So Thursday 28th would be terrible for me (and I’m bringing most of the 1977s). And beacause John Danza’s ticket doesn’t work on that date, we aren’t tied to it. What about one night between Thursday 20...

FYI http://www.frw.co.uk/ has the 1931 Quinta do noval for roughly 1800 british pounds retail.

Last auction at Christies sold this for 2200$ USD inclusive of buyer's premium
High end for acker's had it for 3k$ USD inclusive of buyer's premium.

but they're all "tied" with most amt of port in my collection

ohh, before you ask, I have no idea what the Rose 17% is.

roses is what my poo smells like .. perhaps there's some correlation?

i have to say, that pic of alex looks like he put on 50 pounds from all the port I hope it's only 45 pounds plus a slightly larger and, I'm told, a different port drinking shirt to the one I've previously been seen wearing. (I have a total of 3 different port shirts with a variety of stains down th...

There's a 77 tasting in march that you can attend

there was a huge post on winespectator's forum about the clef du vin, they said it does indeed change the taste but not necessarily in a good way. believe some people mentioned a metallic tone to the wine? winelibrary.tv also had a review on it where gary left it in for like 10 minutes to signify 10...

=)

congratz ronnie on what seemed to be a great celebration.

Btw i disagree on the the peller cab franc ice wine.

you must try the Vineland estates cab franc ice wine.

Better balance, a whole new level of complex compared to the Peller. A true stunner of a wine.

JDAW: 1977 Warre; 1977 Fonseca; 1977 Niepoort; 1977 Smith Woodhouse; 1977 Quinta do Cachão; 1977 Ferreira; Jay: 1977 Delaforce; 1977 Grahams; 1977 Taylor; 1977 Quarles Harris; 1977 Robertson's Rebello; Jeff: 1977 Dow; 1977 Croft; Poten...

some decent ports..

lot 551 is a magnum each of 94 taylor and fonseca

Reading up on the label, quite interesting read,

the families Gonzalez split from the Byass family in 1998 so the new 1847 sherry's now no longer have gonzalez byass on them anymore.

Here's the more recent label.[/url]

I can supply

• Dow 1977
• Croft 1977

Finally able to drink so i pound a bottle of the Taylor 20 yr tawny and am currently drunk posting.

Ambrosia, truly how sweet the taste on ones lips =)

Oh very nice. I like mosesbotbol also only know the Lustau which doesn't feel very mu ch like a sherry but more so like a syrup.

g-man, Stop being a girl. As Michael Douglas said in Wall Street "Stomach Bugs are for wimps" (or was it "stomach upsets"?) Either way, drink port like a man and you will start to feel better instantly. Derek The instantly better part comes after it goes out where it came from ....

Or any kind of alcohol for that matter.

I caught the stomach bug on saturday and couldn't drink any form of alcohol since!!!

I'm miserable.... even the Cockburn ruby would probably taste so good now.

chip butty with a few sprinkles of curry spices makes an excellent snack!
